[FCP-L] Re: OT: Monitors

Thanks for the input so far on this topic. What's happening is that my eyes are starting to go. I've been a full time editor since 82 and it's frustrating not being able to see clearly anymore. Now I'm bouncing between the 15" screen on my MBP for the browser and 20" screen for the timeline and viewer windows. I'm really straining to see the browser after looking at the 20"for awhile. What I really need is dual 24' monitors that I can run off my non mini display port MBP. I've gone freelance now and will eventually buy a tower but in the mean time I would like to use the MPB as the engine for this system. It is certainly powerful enough. I've been looking at Dell monitors because Zelin recommended them in a number of articles I've come across while researching monitors. Now Steve has recommended Samsung so I'll look into them. Either way, is it possible to run two monitors from my MPB without the mini display port? Someone recommended the Gefen adaptor as the solution to the mini display port issue but I don't see how that helps with running two monitors. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I also just started using FCP after twenty years of Avid so... I can't see anymore and now the steering wheel is on the other side of the car. I hope I don't crash.

Thanks All

The new Cinema Displays will not work with my MBP because there is no mini display port and no adaptor as yet. Anyway I have been looking at all sorts of solutions and the Dell seems to be the best in that price range. There is however a large collection of negative reviews all over the web regarding green/pink issues on some of the monitors that Dell has shipped out. Anybody with this monitor had to deal with this? My real question is, what are other people with similar set ups to mine using for an external monitor? While I'm at it I might as well ask if anybody is using two external monitors with the MPB? If so, how are you accomplishing that?
