Screen advice please..
#1
Looking to buy another screen because it's a bit difficult seeing everything on the mixer with my current 1920x1080 screen, I have a 3 screen rig but am looking to just change the one I use for the mixer..
should I just buy a bigger 1920x1080 screen? ( got 24inch at the moment )or is there a better solution?

cheers,
Kevin

Mixbus32C works best with a vertical resolution of 1200 pixels. Look for the term "WUXGA".

Or you can get even more resolution with a 4k monitor. The prices of these high-resolution monitors is dropping every day!

1920x1200 screens become rare. HP has still some I believe. You could also rotate your 3 screens into portrait, which would give you 3240x1920.
If you buy a 4k monitor you need a 32" model, otherwise the mixer elements become too small and fiddly. 32 inchers are still pricey.

I trove away my two monitors and got a single 32" 2560 x 1440 one the same day I purchased the C32 license. That's the best monitor thing I've done in my whole life! :-)

Sounds like a good compromise. I should look into this.

Thinking about rapid mouse movement, job focus, bad eyes and so on, I did not find it practical to use the full width of the two monitors - and the borders where the two monitors met always annoyed me.

I was thinking to get 40" 1920 x 1080 Sumsung TV since I can't get the monitor where I live.

Not sure how common they are right now, but I have a 2560x1440 27" screen. Same size as the older 27" iMacs. Love it. Wouldn't mind having a second one some day, but as it is it works great.
