What do you think is better or your preference...

Is it better to use two screens or one big screen with you 700 setup?
Just wondering if I should spend on one more 19" to match the one I have here or a 32 0r 37" flat screen.

    Mmmm I would take the 32 or 37 flat screen! You could almost see a complete 5 minutes song and editing it without zooming!!!

    Maybe it's a matter of opinion but I prefer seeing one thing really well rather than 2 things less well...

    Also, I don't know if you will take the jump to Sonar X1 but the new customisable interface will allow you to see whatever you want, BIG!!!

    Personally, I could never go back to just one screen... 

    Here's a link to my setup:

    There's also several other setups on that thread that might help you decide.

    Just heard about the X1 a couple days ago, and I'm still not 100% sure what it is, if it's part of the upgrade, is it a totally different software or does sonar producer automatically become sonar x1 producer.
    I'm sure I'll find it somewhere round here though.

    I'm kinda thinking of the 32 or 37 too Dyonight, just want to see if their is a better reason for two screens if there is.

    Yeah eB thats what I was wondering and thinking (what size screens are those?), having the mixer on one screen and the tracks on the other.
    Some nice setups over there,

    Here's a link to a similar thread started earlier today over in the SONAR X1 forum, you should find your answers over there:

    The only problem with using flat screen TV's is that they don't have any more resolution than HD LCD monitors and in many cases less resolution. For instance, most flat screens have a max of 1920 x 1080, my 24" monitors have 1920 x 1200 resolution each. 


    If you have difficulty reading small text or operating small controls than I say go with the single flat screen TV. However theres nothing like having multiple HD monitors when it comes to workflow.
