From: gray asphalt on 6 Apr 2010 14:38 What resolution are you using? Do you believe the 1080p is a lot better than 720p? I'm getting 1360 x 768 from a 720. I really like Nvidia. You can make multiple desktops with different resolutions and do a lot of other cool things, as you already know. I'm using a 22" Samsung HDTV but I've got a Sanyo 26" in the other room that I could switch but maybe I'll purchase a 1080i. 32" seems big but my eyes aren't what they used to be and there are two 19" monitors, one on each side of the 22" so maybe a 32" would be good. Did you pay about $100 for your video card? Is yours a EN9800GT or a EN9800GT+ ? I'm not sure of a difference except the price.

I do wish I had HDMI out on my video card now that I have the new TV, but that will have to wait.

Sometimes I think about trying a wireless mouse /keyboard combo but aren't they problematic with audio apps?
From: Ted Perlman on 15 Apr 2010 22:44 <Now everything is freeking razor sharp, and text is squeeky clean on the screen> I just hooked up my new monitor to the DAW with an HDMI out on the video card, and I couldn't agree more. Much clearer than the SVIDEO connection was. -- Regards, Ted Perlman www.tedperlman.com www.myspace.com/tedperlman www.facebook.com/ted.perlman

One thing different about my workstation is that I mounted a sliding drawer under my piano, Yamaha DGX-505. So it pulls out when I want to do computer stuff, actually it stays out almost all of the time because it doesn't get in the way of the keyboard ... the digital piano is my computer stand, sort of. The monitors are monted on 3/4" pipe that I had welded together. It made a huge difference to my health when my chiropractor told me to put them at eye level, the bottom of the screen is at that height. The sliders sold at Home Depot and Lowe's are real strong and easy to install. Now if I can find a way to a/c my garage ...
