[Andrew Kimery] “but I ended up going with a 4K 43″ LG that Costco had at a great price. I’m used to using dual monitors for the GUI (2×27″ at my most recent gig, and a 24″ and 23″ at home) so getting used to one big, 43″ screen has taken some time (my 17″ b’cast monitor looks very diminutive now), but I’m enjoying the extra vertical real estate.”
My preferred layout is actually a large centrally-located display, a smaller secondary display to the left, and then a reference video monitor to the right (similar size to the left display). Sort of an airplane cockpit layout.
The issue I’ve always had with dual displays – especially as we’ve gotten to using much larger displays than in the early Avid and FCP legacy days – is that you often tend to scoot your chair over in front of one display or the other. Our main AE artist has a 27″ iMP + 27″ Dell and he only puts a few panels on the right edge of the left display (Dell). Not even using the full real estate. He fills out the rest with Spotify ☺
