Re: Three 17" TFTs and a 19" CRT Brandon Potter25-Jan-05 2:54 Brandon Potter 25-Jan-05 2:54  Do you ever have any problems constantly looking at a display that is at or above your head? I can't stand to have my monitor elevated -- I like to have it below my head or I go crazy... Re: Three 17" TFTs and a 19" CRT David Wulff25-Jan-05 3:05 David Wulff 25-Jan-05 3:05  I am actually the reverse of that, though I understand your way is quite common. At a previous job the monitors where sitting on the desk level with the keyboard, and I needed the monitor titlted right forward and then slouched back in my chair to not get neck strain after a days work. It is just more natural to me to have the middle of the displays centered on the middle of my vision so I can just look forward and keep my body straight.

I'm not sure if I could use displays stacked vertically though - as mentioned above I have my displays mounted higher than most people so with two rows I would almost be looking up at the ceiling. Would be great for flight sims though.

I was drooling over this widescreen LCD monitor[^] after seeing a MS guy blog about his[^]. If I ever get around to updating my home box I'm getting one of those. The once nice thing about a CRT is the heat it generates keeps my den nice and toasty warm during the winter. --Mike-- LINKS~!

But just recently moved to a Pentium 4 dual processor with dual 40 meg drives in a RAID array. So I just had to go with dual monitors to keep the theme going. They are the 19" CRT from my docking station setup and the second being a 17" CRT (the company had a pile of 17" monitors so they didn't want to spring for a second 19"). I still have the laptop running at my desk for when I need the second computer/third display during the day and then I go purely mobile at night (I do production app support as well as development).

Twine 24-Jan-05 3:30     Dual 18" LCDs at work (at 1280x1024), dual 21" CRTs in my home office (at 1600x1200 and 1280x1024).    I started using dual monitors ~10 years ago when I was using a monochrome text-only screen for debugger output.    I have never gone back since.  In fact, when I move to a new work location, I bring along a space PCI VGA card with me just so I can hook up two screens!    Peace! -=- James Tip for inexperienced drivers: "Professional Driver on Closed Course" does not mean "your Dumb Ass on a Public Road"!

A poll as to what resolution people are running would be interesting, as well. I run 1024x768, as anything higher is just too small. Not just the text, but images and stuff as well.

Laptop vs Desktop Keia24-Jan-05 2:27 Keia 24-Jan-05 2:27  Before switching to .NET and C# I was using VB 6.0 and a desktop with a 17" CRT, now I use a 15.4" laptop with a 1400x1050 resolution. In fact is this last point that minds. I've seen people with 19" CRTs and a 800x600 resolution.
