    My boss was kind enough to set me up with a dual monitor display. For the 27" LCD on my left, I'm running natively at 1920x1200 (great for Visual Studio! :)). For the smaller 21" or so LCD on my right, I'm running at 1280x1024.

                  This thread actually brings up a question I had related to screen size during development vs. deployment... In the older VB6 IDE (No flames please) there was IMHO a great feature where you could view your form in relation to various screen resolutions. It used to sit just below the control property window and would scale to show your resolution and several common ones below that and then show an image of your form in relation to those. Has anyone seen that hidden away in any of the various menus and settings boxes? I have not really seen it since the 1.0 version of the framework was released. I know that you can just watch the height and width of your forms but having that little visual reminder was always handy. It might actually be a good idea for MS to put in a project setting that would let you pick a deployment scenario and help you keep your forms (maybe via a compiler warning) within that range.

                                1st Monitor: 1152x864 / 21in. CRT 2nd Monitor: 1024x768 / 17in. CRT I'd keep the resolution higher on the main monitor except my eye muscles have a bit of an easier time with that. And, having a higher scan rate is nice for my eyes also. The 2nd one I don't stare at nearly as much, so I tend to keep the resolution higher for its size anyway. Jeremy Falcon

                                        I still remember myself learning programming in Borland Pascal and Borland C++ at this resolution. And what a big step forward from older Turbo Pascal was the syntax highlighting in the new IDE (of course, on the blue background). Those were the times... :) Rado

                                          What size monitor and screen resolution do you use? Are there any sources of statistical data available? [edit] Thank you all for your replies. I realize now that I need to consider higher resolutions than I have in the past for web page layout. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. [/edit] I'm on-line therefore I am.
