Wide Screens – 2 vrs 1
Am I better off buying one wide 24 or 26 inch screen to edit video or 2 20 inch screens. I understand that 2 20 inch screens will give me more screen space but I heard they can be problematic. Any opinions?
Thank you

I’ve been editing with two displays for years and would never go back to only one. I’m currently using two 19″ widescreens so to 20″ should be perfect. (It’s really a personal preference)

It depends on the age of your computer. Before 2003, I didn’t have much luck with dual displays because the video cards I could afford did not have good power or speed. In 2003, I purchased an HP that worked great until the mother board died this year.
I love 2 monitors and I have never regretted the purchase. They are especially great for video and comparing this when working. I was able to do similar work with one monitor, but if you do color correction or other kinds of work that involve comparing visuals, then dual monitor setups are the way to go if you can afford the price and real estate.

Once you use two screens, you won’t like going back to one. I am preparing to add a third 20-inch screen to one of my editing workstations.
