A Sarcastic Statement
I have been looking into getting a 40" LED 1080p HDTV as main monitor (mounted on wall) and using my 27" iMac as my sidecar smaller monitor. But I would use it as an extension (not screen share where it's the exact same thing). So in PT (I'm on 10/11 now), I'd typically have the mix window on the larger screen and the edit view on the smaller one. Thing is, on my imac screen, I'd want stuff to fit it accordingly the way it is now, standard resolution (not giant old lady fonts), but on the larger screen, of course I'd want whatever is on it to be enlarged because it is further away and i want to see things bigger on it (the whole point of a larger monitor!!). Is that even possible?!
Since I already need to squint sometimes to see certain numerical values in PT on my current imac 27" right in front of me, it would make it impossible to see/work with if it were even further away from me (bigger screen or not). Like I don't want status bars and fonts and all that stuff to be exactly the same size on the big screen. It defeats the whole purpose. The mix window would be all tiny and rest of the screen would be blank!
How can I do this? I've seen pics all the time of studios (and other places) where what they see on their big screen is enlarged compared to what is being displayed on their smaller screen.
