Subject: [Leica] Screen Dimensions - what do you use?

I think that the average 50-year-old person at work still uses the 640x480
setting. However, they aren't inclined to look at pictures anyway. I
generally size my pictures to 700 pixels along the horizontal axis but would
like to go to 800. However, I'm not sure that the pictures won't run off the
right side of the screen.

Thanks, B. I've seen some Mac monitors to die for (screen reminds me of a
drive-in movie screen). Maybe when I get my next computer...

The CRT standard that was 640 x 480 gradually evolved, with the  
change of monitor sizes, and has become 1024 x 768, related to a 17"  
monitor.

Those who work in the imaging business, and have larger monitors/ 
screen sizes, typically video professionals, photographers, DTP  
specialist and engineers work with more pixels 1280 x 1024 or even  
1600 x 1200 to be able to more finely tune (in Photoshop) and obtain  
more detail/clarity in FCP.

With the steady arrival, in Europe (already racing ahead in  
California + and Australia), the 16:9 format may change everything  
again, as Didier says (I skipped ahead to catch-up). However, since  
not everyone has the need of two monitors, then you only need to  
decide which resolution suits your work best ........... and pick the  
appropriate monitor CRT/LCD, size of workspace,  
quality ............... and price!

That's my contribution.
