Survey - What Screen Resolution Do You Use?

[Link]

This is a quick survey to see what ArchiCAD users around the world set their screen resolutions to when using ArchiCAD. Please take a moment to respond.


To find the screen resolution of your PC: Right click on your desktop and select Properties. Then go to the Settings tab and read the number under Screen resolution.

To find the screen resolution of your Mac: Go to Apple Menu>System Preferences...>Displays and read the highlighted screen resolution.


If you use a resolution that is not listed, please feel free to specify it in a post. If you use multiple monitors, please feel free to add those too.

Thanks for your time!

Cheers,

PS. Go easy - I'm a poll virgin!

For this size the PC would have super power.
How about with 3 Monitors?
Is it possible?
Section in one, floor plan in second, 3D in third

or eight?!

my primary display is a 17" MBP - 1650x1050 - which is i think is on the bottom line for working with archicad. i'm currently 'evaluating' a mac pro with 30" cinema screen (2560x1600) which is - dare i say it? - too big! there's too much screen to look at all at once: because you naturally work with the whole screen regardless of the different apps/windows that are open. i think if i get to keep it i'll either develop an RSI in my neck or have to sit on the other side of the room with binoculars!

i think the optimal set-up would be two 23"/24" side-by-side: there's enough screen-estate to hold all apps/windows but would allow concentration on one screen at a time for working . . .

Nice tipp !

2560 x 1024, split into two screens.

I for one would not dream on working with AC with only one screen.
Ah, and never put them side by side. One should be in front of you (plan window) and the other should be the sidekick.
Otherwise, you will work with your head rotated slightly to one side.
Major neck damage, after half a dozen years.
Believe me
