Do you use a video monitor in your Booth?

So, I landed a new residency for Saturdays
I did the room about 5 times, 3 audio, the last 2 video.
they totally flipped on the video.

Ive considered taking their little 15" lcd and making it my video booth monitor...
just so I have better "eyes on" exactly whats happening.
I really dont keep the video tab open with the 3 screens.

I considered just grabbing a vga splitter.
www.google.com

Im a little concerned about the signal though.
especially if the general consensus that a video booth monitor is useless..

should be good, the place isnt "IDEAL" for video, but
its close...lots of screens, a nice hd 10x15, 4 floors.
should be interesting

it all comes down to preference.

one place i play most of the screens are too far for me to see. so even a small booth monitor is nice, especially when setting up. other than that i personally don't need one since most of the time i focus more on audio than cool looks. but it is still nice to see what's going on every once in awhile.

it's up to you really. couldn't hurt tho.

It might not be a bad option. I notice sometimes that if I don't have the fader all the way over and have the quad screen setting for transitions the video will be either small or using up 2 of the 4 spaces. I don't really notice until I turn around and see the projected image on the wall. So, in that sense a booth monitor would be nice.
