Re: How Big Is Your Monitor

Dual 24"ers mounted on the wall with swingarms so I can move from my desk to my plan table.

If I had anything bigger I would have to move back 4'.

Re: How Big Is Your Monitor

Just a 24" on the desktop. Laptops are 17" widescreens(more because it seems only 17 and up come with the 10 key than for the big screen)

I've been contemplating going dual moniter for a few months now that I've been doing more and more CAD work. Probobly wont do it til the end of year though.

Re: How Big Is Your Monitor

I'm using a 22" HP 1080p. Seems adequate for all I do with Softplan.
Never tried dual monitors...
