Just wondering for you that do take-off on the computer, what size screen do you use? Also, I am looking to connect my computer to my flat screen TV, anyone hear of that or know how to do that? Thanks

I use 4 monitors. 3 here and one 18" to the far right (not visable) for emails.

I've worked on the same type of setup(minus the 4th screen for emails) for another company and it is definitely the way to go.

I don't have the room to do it now, but someday....

PS- good to see you here again Aladdin

That's amazing! What a great way to work! How do you connect them all?

We have all of our estimators swet up with two 19" monitors- one for On-Screen Takeoff and one for Excel. Of course, 90% of the time, it's one for work and one for playing around on the internet, but that's a different issue.....lol
