I love screen real estate. Duh. Like many other things there is no such thing as too much screen real estate. But there are always weird limitations. Pretty much all laptops have one port for one external monitor. I’ve added a USB converter from Gefen that gives me a second external monitor. Love all the screens. Alas, web video runs really slow on the USB connected monitor and DVD doesn’t run on it all. Also, iMovie won’t run with the USB monitor adapter connected and with the recent Final Cut Pro installation, I want to jump into more video editing but it’s unlikely that FCP will like running with the second USB monitor adapter attached. Additionally, even though my 32″ Vizio is by far the biggest screen, it has a lower screen resolution than the much smaller LCDs (1024 vs. 1440). So the plan was to use the big ol’ Vizio for DVD/Video playback, but make it detachable so that I can video edit with other monitor… ah, no go. So, I need to switch it all around, putting the mbp back in the middle, connect the DVI to the Vizio and connect the second monitor to the USB adapter for slow web browsing and email monitoring (No Video!!!). See what I go through to have such an amazing rig. jbb
