Monitor Size

[Anonymous]

We are preparing to upgrade 20 seats from ACA to Revit and need to select monitors. Right now, we are looking at 27" monitors with 23" supplemental monitors for dual or triple setups. 

Being that Revit does not appear to be bimodal and one screen is the workspace, do you recommend a larger monitor? 32 4d monitors are being discussed and I need to know if these are a benefit or a hinderence to production. 

To summarize: would you experienced users prefer a larger screen or does it have the opposite effect? (no matter the outcome, we have 23" monitors for second or triple supplemental displays)

This is a very challenging question since every user have his own workflow and it is hard to tell which is the best combination. For example I prefer to have a 27`` Monitor and for second one, it doesn't matter the size and I will end up rotating the second monitor to 90 degrees to make vertical to be able to put the Project Browser and the Properties palette in there. Other may prefer to stretch revit for both monitors and they prefer to have 2 equal size monitors, some they like it simple, one huge monitor and they are happy. There is no way is better than other, It all depends on users perspectives and how their visions are made. 

The main thing you need to know is to have a certified graphic card and make sure its drivers are Autodesk Certified to be able to handle Revit smoothly with Dual monitors.

Here is a link that show all the certified graphic card that been tested by Autodesk with windows 7 (if you need to see the windows 8 version you need to change the options in that link)
