Subject: I need a HUGE preview window. Will dual monitors work??

I have need to get the document window (preview) to open very large. In fact, i need 2048x1536 minimum, sometimes in landscape, sometimes in portrait.

I am aware that working in, say, an 800x600 document (same ratio) does not stop you from rendering at 2048x1536, that works fine. However, I have a certain special need: to render animation in preview at full 2048x1536 and/or 1536x2048.

On my 1920x1080 monitors I cannot get the preview window open to more than 992 high, and on 1920x1200 Dell a little more although i have not tried that yet.

So, here are  my questions if any dual monitor gurus see this post:

  1. is there a way to fool Poser into opening a huge document/preview window on a normal monitor?

  2. implementing dual monitors, can you get them in "over/under" relationship?

  3. will the document window open up across the dual monitors?

I have two dells that go up to 1920x1200, so in over/under mode that would be 1920x2400 and that would cover me for 1536x2048.

There seem to be various monitors on the market that will go to 1536x2048, but a) i already have multiple large monitors; b) it would have to pivot; c) i bet you still can't get the Poser document window open sufficiently, and d) i do not mind working in the preview window across monitors.

I am running PoserPro2012 on Windows 7 64 bit.

Any wisdom much appreciated,
