General discussion

Which screen resolution do you prefer?

Oct 25, 2005 1:22AM PDT

For General Use, a resolution of about 75dpi is quite comfortable.

This equates to:
1024 x 768 on a 17 inch monitor
and
1280 x 1024 on a 21 inch monitor.

For detailed CAD work, I sometimes change to 1600 x 1200 on a 21 inch monitor, which is about 95dpi.

There are official Standards for VDUs that give recommended character display heights.

Regards
John
