Topic: Monitor for CAD?

[vinnyg]

Using a standard older 17 inch. Thinking about getting at least a 19" flat panel
monitor, maybe bigger. What's your opinion with these flat, wide screen monitors?
Are they better than the old standard ones?

Go as big as you can

Be careful with the aspect ratio.

a 19" widescreen is very cheap but is shorter than a 17" (because of the 16:9 instead of 4:3).

Go atleast 21" if you can afford it.

Recently I got a 24" widescreen, it's great. I'd have a hard time going to anything smaller now.

Check out the brightness, contrast ratio, response time (unless your a gamer it doesn't need to be really fast) and mostly dpi.  I have a Dell 24" ultra sharp, very nice.

I'm rocking dual Dell 19" flat panel monitors.  Nice.

We'll have two soon... (When exactly, I don't know)

Right now just a single... and I like it.

If you go Wide Screen I would make 22 as my minimum size.

Thanks for the suggestions people. Hopefully the boss will get what I need!

Hope you all don't have to share the two!

Two Monitors

I prefer a single wide-format 24" or bigger.  At work I now use two 19" regular width monitors but at home I use a single wide format 24".  I MUCH prefer the 24" even though it has less screen area.

I have two 19" Philips flat-panel and it's great.
One note, flat screens connected to digital DVI are less tiering than those connected to dual analog. I have dual DVI at home and dual analog at my office, and the difference is BIG.
