PURCHASING A MONITOR

[georgehobel]

ok... i'm moving from using a laptop only, to now working at a desktop.  Ive got a good system that my son put together except for the monitor... What kind of configuration are you guys using.. dual screen or large screen, or both.. pro's, cons, what works well?

I have 2 screens at home so I can do Revit while my kids watching Peppa Pig. 🙂

Are you monogamous?  Not judging. Just wondering.  

I bounce back and forth between multiple and single setups and I find I'm most content with a single 30 incher.  But I'm monogamous.  I don't tile my views too often.  I usually work in one view at a time.   If you're a tiler , then I could see the benefit.

pretty much monogamous.. i think my wife would like it that way... I tend to have at least one other app running at the same time, like a pdf, or photo, or both.. if my screen is large enough, i can do it all on one screen..

What resolution are you happy with?  that's really more important than the layout anyway..

2560x1600…scaled to 125%.  That's my comfort level.

 i just picked up a 43" 4K LED TV to use as a monitor... it's a little big, but i think i can make it work..

This thing is as crisp as an apple on a chilly October morning...
