What Carolyn said! I'm also using an Apple 30" Cinema HD display (wide-screen) and it's unbelievably great running at a resolution of 2560 x 1600 (!) on my quad G5. A flat screen this size has been a 30-year dream for me! It's plenty bright, too. I run it at about 60% brightness unless it's very sunny out in the winter.
In Scroll View at 100% I can easily see (and easily read) 13 bars across and 14 staves down. And I love the 200% page view, too. I definitely recommend getting the largest wide-screen you can afford. **Leigh On Sat, Aug 11, 2007, Carolyn Bremer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >A wide monitor is terrific.
