I must say, life is much easier now using a HD 24" monitor on my puter.. I have it set to 1920x1080 in small font. Lots of real-estate now to have those CAD drawings and a few other forms lying around on the screen from various apps with out the clutter!

Now if I can just do something about the tired neck! :-)

A good idea to talk to a physiotherapist and get your workstation set up for your height .. this includes the height of the chair, the keyboard, the mousing surface and the monitors. I use 2 monitors and I'm OK now but until I got it right I was getting sore, especially after several hours a day for a week or so.

Instead of moving windows around detail, now you have to move your eyeballs around for detail.

I know someone that still uses a big CRT monitor.

While HD television displays will have 16:9 aspect ratio with typically 1920x1080 pixels, however, 24 inch computer displays are typically 16:10 with 1920x1200 pixels, so check what is the native resolution on your monitor and use it.

I have an older Compaq NW8440 laptop with a 15.4" LCD... that has a resolution of 1920x1200.

I love it. :-)

I can't be more than about 3 feet away if you need to be able to read, e.g.,

10pt. text, though.

Those 10.1" netbooks with 1024x600 LCDs make everything look like it was drawn with a crayon! I'm glad that we're finally getting some 10" and 11" machines now with 1366x768 resolution... and Lenovo makes some 12" machines (X300) with

1440x900 LCDs... that's most reasonable.

My phone is 800x480 with a 3.6" LCD... it's great. If they upped the HTC HD2's resolution (4.3" LCD) from 800x480 to 1024x768 I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Get an "executive chair", that has a headrest, and can lean back. Then just position the monitor such that when you're comfortable, the middle of the monitor is in your line of sight.

(Do I need to say that I'm the laziest man I've ever met?) ;-)

Hope This Helps! Rich

That's because you're too lazy to meet anyone.

For years I used to work at home sitting on a bare wooden straight backed chair. Then one day I thought, why the f*ck don't I actually get a comfortable chair for once in my life?

I checked, 1920x1080 is the max I can operate at..

you must remember that the PNP monitors (not PNP transistors :)) reports it's abilities to the OS on boot up. With my video card, it simply don't allow me to set or even see in the list, any more than what my monitor can do.

In roughly the past year 1920x1080 has become the most common 23/24" LCD resolution AFAICT (Newegg shows 71 1920x1080 models and 22 1920x1200) --

1920x1200 these days is usually noticeably more expensive.

My 24" is 1920x1200 (16:10) but most today are 16:9. The TeeVee market has invaded the PeeCee space. I'd like to find another of these monitors, but no luck.

I have a side by side 23" and 24" one is his resolution, the other is

2048x1152 Talk about high res!

I just DLd OrCAD and Solidworks last night.

That is on my desk right in front of me. On the shelf above my main desk is the 46" HDTV. Two large $500 each Polk Audio towers give the front pair. A pair of antique Scott (1971) acoustic suspension enclosures make the rear surrounds.

Real estate? I have so damned much of it, I hardly use the second screen. It is nice to have it, and not need it, than it would be needing it and not having it. The low res is an Acer, and the high res is a Samsung.

My last CRT was a nice, pro model ViewSonic 19" full flat with optical coatings. It is STILL a sweet monitor. I wonder if it would make a good video game monitor for upright video gaming enclosures.

Trackballs keep one from having to hover their wrist onto a moving mouse "arena".

Best just to be very conscious of one's positioning and keep it fluid by changing said positions enough to keep trauma related problems from arising.

Nope. I can put my PC up onto my 46" if I wish though. It is a damned sight better than the 640x480 days or the days where even the 1024 selection was somehow "fuzzy". Now, they got it down at 1080p and PC output to an HDTV looks sharp and sweet.

My Toshiba 37" CRT HDTV would be nice to try on these newer video cards, but it burns like 300 Watts.

I should bring it in here in the winter and use it to heat up the place. :-)

I would too.

They need to incorporate a good, high resolution OLED display, and up the size to just barely "pocket manageable". Touch screen is not important.

Just a bit bigger than the current HTC stuff or the PSP 3000, but higher resolution so that content does not have to be (badly) downconverted all the time.

is it Nikon that has a camera that does video, and it has a built in projector as well. It projects up to 72" away, and likely accepts an external feed too. :-)

Look through the Samsung list for an even higher res.

2048x1152.

IIRC, the micro-projector is but 640 x 480 resolution. Barely suitable for innapropriate videos, let alone serious work.
