I suggest considering a widescreen LCD with pivot capability. Then you can
pivot the screen to portrait and see a full page of the score on screen with
much better clarity.
I have a 20" wide screen with pivot andf would not give it away for anything
now that I have become accustomed to it. Actually wish I had thrown a few
more $$ and bought the 24" Wide with Pivot. But at the time $$ were a slight
issue and so I rushed. Ah well...
Now I am considering getting a dual screen set up with two of them. One for
the scores and one for other stuff.

Subject: [Finale] New monitor
It looks like my current monitor is coming to the end of its life, so I
have been considering what to get as a replacement. LCD TFT screens
seem
to be the only option now, but what opinions does the group have on
wide-screen versus 4:3 or similar square formats? Does Finale work
correctly with wide-screen? I thought I might see a lot more bars when
in
scroll view, or two pages side by side in page view, but some of the
demos
I have seen (generally web pages) have square formats stretched to
wide-screen, therefore they are completely useless. On the other hand a
square shape is probably better for the maximum number of staves
visible.
Also does anyone have any other factors they think are worth considering
when getting a monitor for Finale?
