what desktop resultion do you use for your DAW? poll

[hifiboom]

I would be interested to know this.

in the special case that you`re using dual screen or triple screen combinations, please take the time and post a short reply, how many screens and @which resolutions.

[Fluxpod]

1680x1050,1024x768,1024x768. 3 Screens.

[hubird]

1280-1024, two times (next graphic card will allow for higher values).

[katano]

3 screens, 1680x1050, 1680x1050 and 1600x1200 (with matrox triplehead2go using only 2 screens for max resolution).

Screen 1 for Sequencer
Screen 2 for Scope Mixer
Screen 3 for Scope Effects/Mastering or Routing

Cheers

1680x1050

[pollux]

3 19" monitors: 1280 x 1024 each

[Neutron]

2x 1680x1050

one is mostly for scope, and the other is mostly for the sequencer.

[Lima]

2 heads: 2 x 1280 x 1024

[Herr Voigt]

Same as Stardust and Lima.

stardust, Lima, Herr Voigt and me


Tho Im currently waiting for a pair of 24"w/s to arrive, I guess i'll go up in res then (if possible)

[katano]

poor old stardusty, how about some glasses or contact lenses?

such a big screen with that resolution is completely waste of space for me...

[katano]

well, errm, no, but solaris is the last plugin i didn't buy yet... you could also move closer to the screen

[at0m]

2x 1280x1024

actually 21" TFT normally has a bigger visible area than a 21" crt !

so 1600x1200 on a 21" tft may be quite viewable.

on my old Eizo 21" 1600x1200 is quite small, because it just has 19" visible diagonale.

but then again it has a very natural colour representation compared to the cheaper and mid-range TFT panels.

Sure this isn`t important for DAW tasks but maybe for other things...

I think it really depends on taste: I know many people that want big icons, personally I prefer small icons( higher resolution on smaller diagonale). I dream of a 24" running at 1920x1200.

also correct I should get closer.

What hinders me is the lkeyboard and the midi keyboard between me and the LCD currently

there are spring-equipped adjustable display arms with vesa standard mounting plates. enuff to get your display close to the nose...

i have 30cm,

how much distance have you?

BTW solaris is maybe not the best example since there I only refer to the mod knobs and the switches.

Take a look at the new micro modules from Roy for the modular synth.

I always feel like having stubby fingers.

hmm, problem is the mouse thingie. if we had a cool scope controller, it wouldn't matter if the graphics were small, because one could then concentrate on the sound instead of the graphics!!

Soniccore: GIVE US A HW-CONTROLLER!!!

I was considering that, but does not work for 2 screens and needs the right mounting rack as well.

you can get them with more than one arms.

they have fixed (non-movable) stands as well, but that wouldn't solve your problem...

[katano]

cool though

[hubird]

no wonder you like small icons...
50-60 is the standard, for example that's the distance my opticion takes for making decisions about my lenses (left eye a bit better focussed on close distances).
thanks for the link Kylie
