Mine is 24 inches, and it is wonderful. It makes a huge difference.

| 23-inch monitors here | Mar 5, 2015 |
...and four (4) of them in a square configuration (two on top, two at the bottom). I win!
For product design purposes, all technical designations are placed on the back in a nice, visible plate.
Two large monitors may be better than a very wide one, like the 27-inch Apple monitor, a jewel of a screen.
Like my colleague Muriel Vasconcellos, I was running out of screen space, so I invested in the best IPS monitors out there. Why IPS? Because they are ... See more ...and four (4) of them in a square configuration (two on top, two at the bottom). I win!

Reminder: if you are having trouble with the small type in Windows 7 regardless of your monitor size, bump it up a few percentage points using the Custom option. Windows 7 gives some presets but they cause the screen elements to fall into disarray. ▲ Collapse

Heather, are you a member of MICATA? If so, I'll see you at the March symposium in Overland Park, KS.

Just my two 24" monitors. I only have one working right now, it looks like I misplaced a cable in the move :/

I guess I am the only one crazy enough to work every day using a 46" screen.

| 15" -- but... | Mar 5, 2015 |
Although this is a fine size for me, I think sometimes a second screen would be more beneficial than a bigger screen!

| 2 screens: one 17" and the other 20" | Mar 5, 2015 |
When I'm at the office, I use a 20", 4:3 aspect ratio monitor and my laptop screen 10") as secondary.
When I'm out and about, I use only the laptop screen, of course.

| XP for me too | Mar 6, 2015 |

I have a 14-inch laptop running Windows 7 and a desktop with a 19-inch screen running Windows XP. I love XP, it's so easy to use. I'm thinking of upgrading the desktop later in the year, but I'll always keep a little partition somewhere just for XP alone.

A vast improvement on the single 15" screen that I had before.

| 22.5" (2) + 17" (1) | Mar 6, 2015 |
I hate it when I'm on the go and only have my 15" laptop's. It's so slow to work on a single monitor.
| | | |
24'' + 20.4'', but the second one is never used.
