...working on my MacBook Pro's tiny screen, my wife surprised me w/ this - 24" Widescreen HD - this afternoon.







Now all that's missing is the Apple DVI adapter  which I've just ordered. Man, I can't wait to see Logic's mixer on that screen! 

Did I mention I adore that woman? :P

Yes, very nice. You have an awesome wife :)

And like you, I'm lucky to have an awesome wife too :)  

And my studio layout is very similar to yours yet it's more than enough for my needs.  I just recently added a greenscreen area and will start getting more into video production.  My wife is also a very good photographer, she's had various photos published by news press and local TV stations.

Rain, that is awesome. What is the resolution?

I don't know if this will become a problem for you but... at the first sign of new headaches or neck aches, lower that monitor so that you do not have to look up  at it. If you aren't careful you may find yourself 'craning' your neck when you're really into working on a project (even if you don't really need to, it is a natural thing to do). If you do that you can get cervical spine damage before you know it. You may be doing it for 10 hours or longer, day after day. I learned that the hard way I let myself get in a bad habit and didn't know it was going to hurt me, now the damage is done. I was using bifocals and they made me crane my neck ever worse. I was using a similar desk, smaller monitor though Maybe with a monitor that size you can train yourself to never lean forward.

Anyway, what a nice gift! You better never forget a birthday or anniversary, laff!
I'd take a hint from her when trying to buy a gift for her... she is practical. Forget the jewelry etc and get her practical gifts too (no, not an iron or vacuum cleaner, ). I've found that my wife likes a spa day or 2 hr massage better than anything, a weekend at a spa with both of us is what she likes best. You really have a good wife, she cares about what you do, that is really special. Thanks for sharing, you made my day.

Thanks guys. :) Julien - 1920x1080. And yeah, that's something I realized the minute I placed it on the shelf. Made that mistake once, I'm so not going there again. As for gifts, unfortunately, I'd have to borrow money from her to buy her presents. I had to quit my day job when we went on tour and I can't legally work here in the US w/ my current visa.
