Hi Eric,
I used to have a Samsung 24" monitor and thought it was large, until I
sold it to someone on the list (who seems happy with it) and got the
Apple 30" Cinema display, which is, in the words of my grandson,
"awesome!"
I see no need to pivot it for my work. The vertical screen dimension
is 16", and I can see a good sized score at 75 or 80% - clear enough
to get most of the details.. If money is an issue (as it is for
most), there are quite a few inexpensive 21-21" monitors that would
look proportionally good in portrait orientation. The 24" one would
have been disproportionally tall for my taste. I had good results
with the Samsung until I got greedy for more space and decided I was
going to indulge myself with the 30". I'm sure others will weigh in
with good suggestions.

Hi all,
My university is buying me a new loaded MacBook! I'd like to buy a
large pivoting monitor to plug into the MacBook for use in my home
studio. Can anyone recommend some good options?
Thanks in advance,
