Re: [FCP-L] Re: OT: Monitors

Iver,
You just saved me a ton of hassle.

I was set to create an editing setup, on no budget, that would let me
have the monitor down where my trifocals would see it in the near
vision section. I'll just get a dedicated pair of glasses!

I'm still interested in creating a Walter Murch-style standup setup.
