Not to oversimplify buut have you modified the Window setup to suit you?
The Standard setup has way too much video screen and way too little 
timeline for me.
I am using a Wide arrangement that I customized a bit.
The shuttle is less than $100. well worth it  and as the man said you 
don't even have to look at it. Zip/Zop.
Display wise for me it was  a matter of  cost versus space.
I have a big desk and a small wallet. YMMV.
