**External Monitor For Laptop**

Post by djshi » Wed Feb 17, 2010 8:48 pm

Hi, im looking for an external monitor for my laptop as i find the screen to small looking for tips on:

What sort of size people recommend / use for producing as in average size?

Recommendations on brands models etc...

If anyone currently uses a TV for this or find the picture not so good.

Thanks in advance

p.s, I have a unibody MBP if that helps matter

I use an external 19" cause it's all I have and my lappy screen broke :(. I would say the bigger the better, and if you have support go for 2 external monitors for better workspace.

I sometimes use my tv, I use the HDMI output on my laptop and it looks really good. It works just like a dual monitor setup would.
