What size monitors do you guys use?
-
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

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?

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.

Well, all of you just keep telling me you have 17 and 19 and 21 inch monitors. But only two or three people have told me to try and get a better monitor. Frankly both mails won't get me a new monitor. But the advisory type mails have something wam about it. I feel like smiling wryly when I see type-2 posts. Yours is type 2 Simon. But to be frank I wish I could forward all these posts to my unaware management which I hope will open their eyes. But it won't.

You know what really sucks. My CEO is using a Sun Solaris with a 19" monitor happily. He's a nice guy really. But he can't help me much I guess.

I use a circa 1998 21" (20" visible) Trinitron running at 1600x1200 @ 65Hz. I can't use anything smaller than 1600x1200 any more. At work I have a Sun monitor (fed by my PC and my Sun workstation) running at 1800x1440. I used to own a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop that displayed 1400x1150 on its LCD screen and up to 1600x1200 external. Dell now offers a native 1600x1200 resolution on its 15.4" screen.

I have a 19 inch monitor at work and a 19 inch monitor (trinitron) at home. However, at work we are upgrading all of our PIII 500's to new PC (PIV 2 GHz) and we are getting 18 inch LCD monitors (that support 1280 x 1024 resolution).

I was running 800x600 at 85 Hz I now swicthed to 1024x768 on my small 15" I had to reduce refresh rate to 60 Hz to do that and I'll probably go blind in 3 weeks time. I found that the fonts are all so small, they are unreadable So I changed my color scheme to Windows [large] and that made things better except on CP. Chris uses hard-coded font sizes for CP pages and thus changing the fonts have absolutely no effect on CP. I wish Chris would go and read that nice article written by Paul on using relative fonts Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

With prices where they are, anything less than a 17" is a crime... I agree with another poster: fork over some cash and buy one, clearly marked as "Personal Property of Nish". Here's my history: 1993: 14" monitor 1994: 17" monitor 1997: 21" monitor with 12" monochrome debugging monitor 2000: 21" monitor with second 19" VGA monitor 2002: 17" monitor (sigh... eight years of progress down the tubes) Each change happened when switching to a new company... maybe it's time for a change, Nish... ;-) Tim Lesher http://www.lesher.ws

Don't feel like the only one, Nish... My company won't let me upgrade to color. After all, I'm only the Sysadmin, not someone important like the VP who uses his 19" to play Hearts with the Pres.
