I am about to get a IIci and seriously consider buying a 2 page display.
I am familiar with Apple's RGB monitor and found myself wishing more often
than I'd like for more screen space. I would like to hear from those having
experience with 2PDs. Note that I am not in the imaging business -- I want
to buy a 2PD because my work involves using several applications at the same
time, and I am a bit (make it 16 bits) tired of swapping active windows.
- What are the inconvenients of 2PDs (slows down execution, strains
your eyes, uses a lot of Windex :-)
- Why would someone buy a BW (1 bit only) monitor, or an 8 bit gray-
scale monitor? Isn't 4 bit the practical limit imposed by
the Laser Writer?
- I read MacUsers' review of displays, only to be more confused by the
wide array of choices. They rated Apple's rather poorly mainly
because it is a 4 bit. Now, my understanding is that the
limiting factor is in the card, not in the monitor.
- Any other opinion will be appreciated. Thanks. Stephane
