Topic: dual monitors

[Dinosaur]

Civil 3D very nearly mandates having two monitors  Mine are twin 17 inchers and there s very little space I am using that is taken up with "fluff".  All of the dialogs I have open on the first screen are used constantly in an average editing session.  Additionally I have the lesser used, but hard to remember where to find them, flyouts locked in position and set to autohide.

Well I have a bad case of 46 year old eyes. I use the reading glasses for reading paper, but don't want to use them to read the monitors, so I keep my resolution at 800x600. - And YES it sucks!

If you increase the resolution and also change the DPI in your driver settings, you still can read everything without glasses and everything looks much better. (But if your eyes are really that bad, you probably don't see the lines any more. )

Looks like 19" LCDs have dropped down into the sub-$200 range...  and good 20" are in the high $300's...

LCD prices are dropping almost as fast as CPU prices...
