Hi - I am looking to goto dual monitors and am looking for reccomendations. I am an Architect and need more real estate for graphics, cad programs, etc.
I currently have a PowerMac G4 with a LaCie ElectronBlue 19" crt. I run the crt at 1280x1024 which is relatively good for my eyes. I really like the monitor, but am considering getting an LCD that is better on my eyes. I see myself having several options.
1. Keep the LaCie and get another LaCie crt (19" or 22"?) In a dual monitor setup, is the larger monitor worth the price premium?
2. Keep the Lacie and get a new Formac Gallery (17" or 19"?) As above, in a dual monitor setup, is the larger monitor worth the price premium? Is it hard on the eyes going back and forth from crt to lcd?
3. Abandon the LaCie and get (2) Formac Gallery 17"....or if I have more than (1) video cards, can I keep the LaCie in this setup and go with (3) monitors? If so, how would that work?
Anyone have any thoughts or experience with any of the above setup's? I'd like to keep investment to $1500+-. Thanks!
