From: Mayayana on 16 Apr 2010 10:29 | I'm using a Samsung Syncmaster 2343 @ 2048 X 1152 | (16 / 9) | Wow. 23"? I envy your eyesight. I've gotten to where I can't see detail up close. Small items onscreen cause me to squint and hold my head back. I wanted something in the 1400 range, but I don't have any options there. I've settled for 1600x900.
From: GS on 16 Apr 2010 12:41 I use a 24" HP monitor when tutoring from my 17" laptop, both are 1920x1200 HD and so I can't image anyone running 6 large screen monitors other than for security servailance on a dedicated station.

From: GS on 16 Apr 2010 12:57 <IMO>4/3 is still the best config. I have 2 laptops (15.6" and 17") and a 24" HP monitor that all run 1920x1200HD res and they are absolutely fantastic to work with. The HP and large laptop also have DVI sockets and so I use that when I can. My desktop machine runs the HP via standard video socket but the video card (ATI circa 2000) doesn't support the 1920x1200HD res. My newer laptops are the new res dimension units and I agree that they SUCK! It must be about $$ because you can hardly find a 1920x1200 display anymore and if you do they're not cheap. -- Garry Mayayana formulated on Friday : >> >> Best Buy has some 23" monitors for $200.

Hi Ralph, You're right! I'm not a gamer. I'm also retired from my own business where I never had time 'at work' to waste on such things. Fortunately, the nature of the business was such that nobody (other than me) used a computer for anything and so any workers' gaming activities had to take place elsewhere.<g> I use[d] the hi res primarily for CAD, though I do enjoy getting columns(A:AD) in full view when I open Excel.
