I prefer two monitors to one very wide one. | | | Heather Walker (X) United States Local time: 04:21 German to English + ...
Mine is 24 inches, and it is wonderful. It makes a huge difference. | | | Mario Chavez (X) Local time: 05:21 English to Spanish + ... 23-inch monitors here | Mar 5, 2015 |
...and four (4) of them in a square configuration (two on top, two at the bottom). I win! For product design purposes, all technical designations are placed on the back in a nice, visible plate. Two large monitors may be better than a very wide one, like the 27-inch Apple monitor, a jewel of a screen.

Like my colleague Muriel Vasconcellos, I was running out of screen space, so I invested in the best IPS monitors out there. Why IPS? Because they are the basic monitors for graphic designers (I do graphic design and typography art) and they display colors faithfully. Reminder: if you are having trouble with the small type in Windows 7 regardless of your monitor size, bump it up a few percentage points using the Custom option. Windows 7 gives some presets but they cause the screen elements to fall into disarray. ▲ Collapse | | | Mario Chavez (X) Local time: 05:21 English to Spanish + ...

Just my two 24" monitors. I only have one working right now, it looks like I misplaced a cable in the move :/ | | | Nilton Junior Brazil Local time: 10:21 Member (2009) English to Portuguese + ...
I guess I am the only one crazy enough to work every day using a 46" screen. | | | Natalie Soper United Kingdom Local time: 10:21 French to English + ... 15" -- but... | Mar 5, 2015 |
Although this is a fine size for me, I think sometimes a second screen would be more beneficial than a bigger screen! | | | Al Zaid United States English to Spanish + ... 2 screens: one 17" and the other 20" | Mar 5, 2015 |

Julian Holmes wrote: BTW, Neilmac, I think I'm the dinosaur here since I still run XP on both machines. XP is soooo nice, in a delightfully anachronistic way of course. I have a 14-inch laptop running Windows 7 and a desktop with a 19-inch screen running Windows XP. I love XP, it's so easy to use. I'm thinking of upgrading the desktop later in the year, but I'll always keep a little partition somewhere just for XP alone. | | | Gudrun Maydorn (X) Germany Local time: 11:21 English to German + ... 2 screens 24" each | Mar 6, 2015 |

I hate it when I'm on the go and only have my 15" laptop's. It's so slow to work on a single monitor. | | |
24'' + 20.4'', but the second one is never used. | | | Pages in topic: < [1 2] | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Poll: What is the size of your working computer screen?
