The Viewsonic VG900Bis a 19" LCD computer monitor. It's not being made any more as far as I can tell, as it's on the older side as far as computer monitors go, which means a few years old. I've used this monitor at a studio that I recently worked at. This was their main monitor, which was okay, but it's still a pretty small screen for Pro Too...
The Samsung Syncmaster 213 T is an LCD monitor for your desktop computer. I don't own of these but I recently worked out of a new studio for a few days and they had this as their main monitor. While it was adequate for viewing Pro Tools, I wouldn't say that it's ideal since it's not huge. It's a 21" screen, but it's not wide screen which is r...
The Apple Cinema Display 20” is a beautiful monitor, especially when used with pro tools HD. It doesn’t get any better than the quality of this monitor. I have used this monitor for a bout a year and half. It is a good size “20 inches is plenty enough screen room to run all of your plug-ins and have a few things visible all the at the same time....
The Sony SDM-HS95P is an older LCD computer monitor. Of course like all monitors it can be used for purposes outside of recording music, but the only capacity which I've used the monitor in has been for a DAW set up. I don't own the monitor myself but my room mate has it as one of his two monitors in his home studio and I tend to work in there...
I am not a huge Apple fan but I give credit where credit is due. Their displays are some of the best on the market. They really have a different look to them. When you are using an Apple display it just feels different than a normal monitor. The construction of the display is pretty simple. It is a pretty thin design with a metal piece that hold...
Apple has finally revised their famous Cinema Display. While there are fewer sizes and less ports than the last one, the new monitor features a newer IPS panel and Apple’s Mini DisplayPort. The monitor itself is very similar to the current generation iMac. It features that swooping back with the thin metal bracket to hold it up....
The Viewsonic VG150B is a flat panel monitor of 15" in width. The studio that I work at has this in our 'intern' room, which is the smallest and least equipped room of about eight that we have on site. The room is usually rented out by someone who brings in their own gear, but since it's vacant right now we've got all of the gear that doesn't ...
The Acer H213H is an LCD computer monitor, perfect for use within your Digital Audio Workspace. I like this monitor a lot not only because of it's crystal clear picture, but also because of it's rectangular shape, which is perfect for viewing Pro Tools windows. I don't own this monitor at home since I work on a laptop, but I work with a produc...
The Hewlett-Packard L1740 is a basic 17" LCD monitor. One of the smaller producer suites at the studio complex I work at has one of these in it for monitoring Pro Tools. Right now it's definitely in our least together room, as it's not the best monitor in the world and was just kind of thrown in there out of necessity. The monitor is indeed a...
The Viewsonic VG2230wm is a 22" LCD monitor for computers of all types. One of the rooms at the studio where I work has this as the main monitor for monitoring Pro Tools. It may not be as nice as an Apple Cinema monitor or something similar, but it certainly gets the job done as it's got a crystal clear screen and isn't going to cost you nearl...
