I've standardized on 23-24-in monitors for two reasons. 1) They fit in
the available space -- I have one on each P3 and another as expansion
for the shack laptop. 2) They run on the 12V system that powers the
radio gear, so I can throw away their noisy SMPS wall warts. Larger
monitors run from higher voltage supplies, making them harder to replace
with linear supplies that don't make RF noise. AND -- even those
monitors that run on 12V are getting harder to find. BTW -- they are
made by Samsung and the power connector is labeled 14VDC.

I currently have a 23" monitor on my desk which fits perfectly between 2
desktop shelf units. Given the recent proliferation of larger monitors,
including the ultra-wides (34" or so), I am considering doing a little
redecorating to accommodate a larger monitor.
I'm interested in thoughts on the ideal monitor size, and resolution)
for what we do (SO1R here).
Tnx,
