Barry - When I replaced my shack PC 6 or 7 years ago, I looked at my preferred
N1MM screen setup (and my DXLabs screens for day to day operating), preferred
monitor position, etc. and went with a 24" diagonal monitor which works great,
even for SO2V - except for RTTY contesting. For showing 1, let alone 2 or more,
RTTY demodulators 27" was what I found would work. But, on my operating table
setup it was easier to use a second monitor on a swing arm since I don't spend
that much time in RTTY contests - to fit the 27 incher and keep it low above
the desk would have required a wider table than what I use - if I was
"redecorating" I'd go with 27" and still keep the swing arm and second display
for special purposes..
There is a lot of Your Mileage May Vary, of course - in a contest, I don't
really use gray line maps, spectrum displays, rotor indicators, etc. A few
years ago for the PVRC Newsletter I did a "Show Us Your Screens" and lots of
guys had multiple displays with all kinds of additional windows running.
That is, except for Fred K3ZO - he had a 13" black and white CRT showing a
single DOS window running TR-LOG...
