FCPX Screengrab 1920x1080 vs 2560x1440 monitor displays?

Greetings - might there be someone out there that can offer a screen grab of FCPX operating on a 1920x1080 monitor and the same window display on a 2560x1440 monitor?.

I currently have two 24" 1920x1080 monitors with the left monitor in portrait mode with "Show Events on Second Display" selected.

I'm making a pitch for a larger "main" edit monitor based on the desire to see more vertical height of the timeline to decrease the amount of scrolling up/down when there are multiple clips stacked vertically. Being able to present examples of the same timeline displayed in a 1920x1080 display compared to a 2560x1440 display would be helpful.

I've attached a photo of how things are arranged now . . .

Thanks.

Those additional 640 vertical pixels sound appealing but I don't think they will revolutionize your editing efficiency.

My monitor doesn't do 1920x1080 so I resized the application.

Thanks for the feedback and screengrab. Most of the time my timeline is in "label only" with occasional forays into "waveform only" when tweaking audio. I have all the display options mapped to my "F" keys and use that to swap views quickly. I rarely run it in clip and waveform but that's just personal preference.

Though now I see with further research that 3840x2160 monitors are not that much more. If my memory serves me correctly now, I believe that is the configuration that was shared somewhere that got me to thinking about all this

Thanks!

(cough) 200% or TWICE the vertical space than your actual set-up isn't much???
Are you using Premiere and tracks?? :ohmy:

… a more flexible windows layout is, I guess, on everybody's wishlist …

Sorry - I wasn't clear.

I meant not that much in price. Yes, that's a lot more space
