What size computer monitor are you using?


RD

 

[Ivan Dan]

24"

 

[OnlyMoney]

Living on a laptop the last few years. Only 16".

 

[Scott E]

24" at work, 17" at home...

 

[RiverDave]

The way the new site is setup the "variable" width deal may not be possible.. So I might have to pick a size and go with it. Most web guys say that some size is "standard" because "most" people have small monitors etc..

I'm kinda thinking this is a boating site. Boaters historically have dispensable cash so their probably not sitting at home with some tiny ass monitor.. LOL

Still trying to see if we can make the variable width thing work.. but if we can't.. might have to make a choice on size.

Scrolling all over the place will be annoying...You gotta do what you gotta do but from a user perspective that will suck...

 

[TBI]

I would think the aspect ratio would be more of a concern than the size?


Bilge<-------1440 x 900 pixels

With my god-like physique, 10-inches is standard. On a cold day. :skull


24" + 17" dual displays at work
17-inch laptop at home
12-inch laptop at home (please don't dumb-down the site to fit this little monitor)

16" Laptop at home and a 20" LCD at work.

 

[B---S---]

30" lcd

 

[Wheeler]

At he moment it's a 32" lcd, I took the computer off of the 42" plasma monitor as the 32" is in the bedroom where I can lay my fat ass down in front of an A/C unit.

 

[Tom Brown]

30"

 

[River Lynchmob]

24 at the office 17 on the laptop

46" Bravia XBR8 at work. I needed the year end expense to avoid sending it to Obama....:thumbsup

I ended up needing to buy a new laptop just to drive the SOB.

 

[kvannice]

4 22" Dell's hooked to twin 1 GB graphics cards in one PC. Top that suckaz, lol. it's hotter than all get out under my desk all frigging day.

 

[PlumLoco]

Half of you guys are friggin' hung. If there is such a thing as monitor envy, I think I just caught a case of it. Just bought the 19 in flattie, I can't really upgrade it for a while.

No shit.. LOL I'm a little taken back by some of the responses..

I'm thinking I might start telling my web guys to stop thinking in terms of "pixels" and start thinking in terms of inches. LOL

[Yellowboat]

[Zaairman]

24" desktop, 8.9" netbook.

No wonder why you pull all the ladies.

 

[snake321]

32"
1080p

to buy a computer monitor anymore is waaaay wrong. Monitor tv's are bigger,cheaper and hook right up HDMI or VGA, plus speakers built right in....

When we design a new site, we always have to design for the 1024 x 768 but taking into account scroll bars and tool bars that only leaves you with a live area of 1000 x 660.

I have a feeling that because the cost of monitors is coming down the live areas are going to increase but as of now, these are the sizes that we have to adhere to :grumble:

 

[maxwedge]

I got 22 inches for you Dave.

 

[Outnumbered]

32" LCD. Easy on the eyes

 

[Skee]

I'm only hangin' at 17 inches...thats the best I can do for now!:grumble::skull

 

[Outnumbered]

Site fits fine on mine with no scroll issues. I think it is running 1360x768 on a 32" LCD.

 

[MMD]

Any size I want

I use a projector displaying on the wall so it's like a drive-in movie here

 

[HavasuWakecraftZR6]

40"

 

[Riverbound]

Maybe you should get this for your web design guys or guy.

I did try and find one for yout Cart builder but they havent published that book yet.

to be completely honest RD, havng to scroll side to side will be an absolute pain in the ass. I Used to visit a couple sites that were like that back in the day.....take note of the "USED TO" part. with all the effort you are putting into this place I wouldn be so accepting of something that would ulitmately take alot of your hard work and to put it in boating terms. "Kachina" up the site

 

[OCMerrill]

What matters more is what resolution size you are running.

Small monitor syndrome?

 

[djhartley2003]

17" at work and 2 17" at home
15" laptop

 

[Chico&Zeus]

Maybe I'm way off base here, but if you have to scroll side to side...can't you just zoom out a little by holding Ctrl and scrolling your mouse wheel and make the page fit your screen???

 

[Long Way Home]

I have a 22" at home

 

[DD_Tahiti]

2 24" HDs at work and a 27" and 24" HD at home :skull
