I may choose to go with a smaller monitor for now.. this is after all just a hobby for me. Part of the reason I asked these questions is the fact that I cannot audition the gear, so have to rely somewhat on consensus. Lots of hours researching stuff on the internet before purchases. I'm on the edge of the earth, west of Hawaii and north of where everybody ought to be. Nome, Alaska. Right near Russia. Thanks all for the data points, I'm willing to hear more. Thought about asking about headphones... but thought better of it. cheers, JD ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
