I've been thinking about getting an external monitor for some time now, but I need something clearing up.
If I get an external monitor for my macbook, will it just magnify the screen exactly how I see it on my macbook already, or will it give me a bigger area to play with?
I ask because as a Journalist student, I use programmes such as Quark and InDesign, but I can't get a decent enough picture of my entire page design at a decent level of zoom. I either have to look at a really zoomed out image to see the whole page, or a zoomed in version if a third of the page.
If I'm just getting completely confused by the whole thing, please set me right, and possibly suggest some good external monitors that I may be able to purchase. (Remember, I am a student - so nothing majorly expensive!!)
Thanks!
