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.

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

2x 1680x1050
one is mostly for scope, and the other is mostly for the sequencer.

poor old stardusty, how about some glasses or contact lenses?
such a big screen with that resolution is completely waste of space for me...

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

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...

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!!

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...

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
