Used Monitor?

[Chaos123x]

I have a 23inch Monitor that I use with my Mac Pro and it is plenty big to do all the stuff I need, except when I am working in FCP I would like to have a separate monitor for my bins.

I was thinking about buying a used 17inch Apple Studio monitor that comes with the DVI convertor box.

He wants $165, is that a ok deal?

Do the studio monitors last long when they are this old? The new apple monitors cost way to much just to be used as a second monitor though.

What do you think about buying used monitors or the 17 Studio Monitor?

Ever own one?

OUCH! 165 for a used 17"?

that's about 4 times too high in my book! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

if just need it for your palettes and stuff, I'd just go to best buy and get a cheap one.

I'm not one for dual displays, especially different sizes. Too much eye movement and neck stain for me on long hours.

Try placing your palettes in a separate OSX spaces.

That, or buy a cheap one of off dell or a comparable vendor. check dealmac.com for deals, thats what I usually use.

So dual displays it make harder now days that screens are so big?

That kind of makes sense, since you have to turn head back and forth lol.


I think I paid almost 2k for my 23inch when it first came out, so I did not think that was that bad.

i paid $1100 for my dell 30" (2560x1600) in Jan 07. It's awesome.

I have no problem with two monitors. neck strain???? wtf... come on, please.. :p

Is there any free programs I can use to test a monitor?

No other opinions about the Apple 17inch?

I love my 17" Studio. I have it hooked up using the DVI to ADC converter on my MBP. I got it about 8 months ago and I like it so much, I'm probably going to get a 22" or 23" to replace it when I get some cash. The picture is very good and since I've already got the converter, I don't mind buying another display with ADC. For how old it is, I think its a great looking display. Since he's including the converter which sells new for $100, I'd say its a fair deal for a Studio display.

Yeah I figured I could get a old style 23 inch cinema display off of ebay later, and use the convertor with that.

Then sell the studio.

But I do look forward to using it. Though 17inch sounds tiny, is it really small?


Do you think it would clash with my 23inch aluminum Cinema Display? (it's gotta look better than a Dell next to it).
