LOGIC SCREEN SIZE

Hello.

I love logic. (I run L6 on a 1.6 G5 PowerMac. There IS ONE THING THAT BUGS ME ABOUT IT THOUGH: THE SIZE OF THE PROGRAMME. By size i mean the actual size of the words, instruments, GUIs of soft synths etc.

I am almost blind (this is no joke) and i am virtually six inches away from the screen in order to read parameters, info etc.

Is there any way at all to rectify this? Can i alter the settings in logic to make the images that appear on screen bigger?

I have a 19 inch monityer and cant afford the apple cinema screens.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

In the system preferences is Universal access.
When you click on this you will see there is a setting
to turn zoom on and off. When you turn it on
all you have to do is press the Apple key with the
Option key (together) then press the =/+ key to zoom in
and the -/_ key to zoom out. You can even set up how
much zoom you want. This will help out since you can
contol how the screen reacts to mouse movenents.

Hi John,
I bought a ViewSonic LCD television,with a Pc input...and it is a whopping 43" (diagonal)!!!
It does up to 1360 x 768 pixels resolution so you will see Logic in a BIG way.
I only spent about 1300 USD for it,and believe me,you can see the musicans PIMPLEs on this one!!!...plus whenI'm done with Logic work,I can go ahead and watch TV,DVD or whatever else on it as well.WAY better than spending too much on a single-purpose monitor,or even two monitors.

cheers,

I have to agree this is one of the best thing I have done
with my setup. I still get comments on it
when people see it. I have Mitsubishi WD52525
52in DLP. It is not thin but it is High Definition and
supports a few different screen resolutions.

It is on one side of the room and I am one the other with
a wireless keyboard and mouse. I have been using
it a my main monitor for two years now and
find Logic loves all the real estate.
When I bought it 2 years ago it was the same
price as the then newly released 30in. Apple display.

Though the computer resolution only goes up to
1024x768 it makes up for it with Firewire,
Digital audio and 1080 HD. I had a friend who had
one and when I saw the quality of the picture with
his computer hooked up, It was just a matter of time.
