Hi.

I just stumbled across the pictures of your Mac Pro. I was wondering if you could enlighten me as to the details about your second LCD Screen. It seems an intriguing solution to my space vs. need a second screen problem.

Sure thing. You're referring to the smaller screen, seen here next to my 30" Cinema Display:

The screen in question is an HP LP2065 flat-panel. It's a 20", 4:3 aspect display with a native resolution of 1600x1200. I'm using it rotated, giving me 1200x1600, matching the height of the 30" Cinema's 2560x1600 screen quite well. The HP uses a high-quality LG/Philips panel, the same type as that used in the 30" Cinema, so the match is perfect. I had considered going with a slightly less expensive Dell, but the 4:3 Dell panels now employ a far inferior LCD panel. (The 16:9 Dells use much nicer panels.)

I am using an ATI X1900 XT graphics card, with OS X drivers that support screen rotation. Make sure your drivers support a rotated screen before you jump, if that's your intended use.

Thanks for that. I've finally had time to catch up on what I was doing before exam period started. I'll look into it.
