2 Cinema Displays are better than one

[michaelhoddy]

Just upgraded my Mac with a second 22" Cinema Display to match my other 22" Cinema Display, an ATI Radeon 9000 video card, and an Apple DVI-to-ADC converter. Yeah!

I can't imagine ever going back. So much space for big mixing boards, the sequence editor, the transport, and lots of plug-in windows. The Radeon card is much faster and more powerful than the NVidia card that I had, so redraws are MUCH faster, and I can have a lot of things open without it dragging down display performance.

Special thanks to Jeff Hollman and Sweetwater, who happened to "find" a new-in-box 22" in their warehouse, long after they sold out elsewhere in the country when Apple stopped making them.

I'm so happy... :)

Hear Hear, or is it Here Here?
Yeah, I know what you're saying. I've got 2 displays, but they don't match. When I upgrade (Lord willing) I'll have two 20" and the Radeon 9500. Can't wait.

Wow two 22" cinemas? I want your budget. Can I come over and play?

Just kidding, glad to hear it.

Pick up a good pair of VGA flat panels. The resolution isn't as great, but they're cheaper. :)

Two Whores are better than one as well but if you can only afford the one Crack HOE there is no need whining over the second one...LOL BTW This is not me...so dont get smart or Ill unleash my Jaguar on ya.....as soon as DP4's bugs are gone...

I'm staying out of DP4 until they support Audio Units. Switching right now would make most of my plug-ins (well, at least the non-DP ones, and they're the ones that actually sound good) inoperative. Plus, DP3.11 is working very reliably right now.
