Is getting something like the Matrox Dual- or Triple-Head2Go box the easiest way of setting up multiple external monitors on a MBP?</div><div><br></div><div>and,</div><div><br></div><div>2. How do I identify which monitors will be best for working with documents vs. video/movie watching? </div><div><br></div><div>Some LCD monitors I've seen are much shorter and wider than others. That's what I don't want; I want the more "square" monitor because most of my work involves letter-sized documents in portrait mode. Basically, I need to figure out what the differentiating specs are that separate the two different styles.</div><div><br></div><div>My basic ignorance of displays is shown by these questions, I'll admit. <br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>--</div><div>Alexander Rhoads</div><div><a href="mailto:alexander@rhoads.us">alexander@rhoads.us</a></div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i><br></i></span></div></div></span></div></div></body></html>
