What size monitors do you guys use?
-
I was quite pissed recently when my management rejected my request to upgrade my 14" monitor with a 17" monitor. They instead gave me a 15" which though is better than a 14" is far from useful. I can't even use 1024x768. I can but then I'll need a magnifying glass. I mean people think only graphics designers need big monitors. I believe this wrong thinking. I mean to make full use of all the Visual Studio toolbars we really need a 17" monitor. I am pretty sure it will greatly improve my programming speed and efficiency. Your thoughts?

Iiyama Vision Master Pro 510, 22" at work, Sony GDM-F500R, 21" at home. Never compromise when it comes to the monitor. Otherwise you may very well end up being half blind at 60. Couldn't you just threaten your company with a lawsuit if your eyes went bad because of your "horrible" work situation? (Note that I don't have a clue how the law system works in India) Employers that don't value your eyes, arms, or any other part of your body (i.e. ergonomics), doesn't value you. In the long run, you're the guy that will get the bad aches, not the employer :( Struggle on Nish, get yourself a bigger monitor or another employer ;)

Just wondering - how many lines of code do you see and how many you would like to see? For example I can see around 15 - 20 lines, depending on the amount of windows open at the same time since tabs are taking more if I open more.
It's not just the number of lines that matter. I'd like to be able to keep most of the dockable control bars open. And in VC++ 7 when we take help, it comes as part of the tabbed dockable dialog bar on the right. So to be able to have a wide enough window to code as well as to be able to see enough of the help, we really need a large enough monitor Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

Hmm, I bought a 17" monitor privately while I still had 15" monitor at work. I ended up starting my own company, just to keep working with a larger screen :-) Bottom line: there's no doubt cheap management attitude makes people look for other interesting things instead of giving all their energy to the company. Now in my new company young developers get 19" monitors. Yes, they cost a few bucks more, but these costs return quickly since people appreciate when they feel they're taken a good care.

It hurts that after all the sincerity and hard-work they dont give a shit about us. Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

Oh, yeah to get a job application you have to beat me in an arm wrestle! So, I still haven't employed anyone yet. :-) But seriously, Nish its true you would be far more productive on a bigger Monitor/VDU. Now I'm going back to my game :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

At work I have a 19" running 1280 x 1024, but most of the time I am using my laptop w/ 1600x1400, which is quite cool :cool: Unfortunately, at home I have a 17" only :(( Regards Thomas Finally with Sonork id: 100.10453 Thömmi

Nish [BusterBoy] wrote: But it'll be sad that after 2 years of a nice relationship with them, I had to leave over a monitor. Well, you would not leave over the monitor but your health. Also, two years sounds like quite enought in place ;) The longest period I worked for one company was 18 months, while I was still a student. After graduation I changed jobs after one and half year max, with awerage job lenght expectation at one year right now. Just when I get bored doing the same things with old tools it's time to switch. Interestingly that keeps me with better and better monitor and other hardware as well as more recent versions of all the software :) Also, I quit one of my very favorite jobs (1 year 4 months there) when they refused to send me for an international conference about new technology I was supposed to use, argument being "too expensive", which it wasn't. I quit just while the boss was out on that very conference (he promised to pass me on all the information) Well, I figured that he knew all about it so he didn't need me any more... ;)

We use the Matrox dual monitor system. So I run at a resolution of 2560 by 1024. The first monitor is 21" while the second is a 17". The setup is very good for debugging apps as VC and the app in question can be setup to not overlap which is very useful. Sorry to make you feel bad about it. Hope you get a better monitor size soon Nish, although if they have just given you a shiny new 15" you may be out of luck for a while. Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016

I have a 17" at work (running at 1280 x 1024) and a 17" / 15" dual monitor setup at home. We had the health and safety guy around just before Christmas and he reckons the resolutions we're running at are too high to be comfortable, so on the basis that you don't get if you don't ask I'm pushing for twin 19" monitors for team members. ;) Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd

By now I have reached a stage where such normally damaging information has ceased to penetrate my frozen mentality. Nothing regarding monitors pains me anymore. I am trying to convince myself that bigger-than-15" monitors are mythical things that exist only in roman legends and CP. I don't see any other way to end my misery. I am not sure when my frozen emotions will thaw and I'll have to face the infinite pain yet again. Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

Ok, just to proof that statement: At work I have a 19" with 1280x1024 and my private 17" monitor runs at 1152x864. Note: only the lost souls worshiping the dark side of the force use monitors greater than 15", the brave don't need more };) Bjørn.
