Just IMHO -- I think ypu already have the utmost in size choices....I have been doing computer work for better than 25 years, and have tried out the giant screens,--and for ham radio usage I find it hard to follow what's going on a wider screen. Maybe OK for SDRs, waterfalls, and all that -- but poor for contesting, logging, and reading messages. I have to use reading glasses most of the time (OLD!), but even then need them for reading the keyboard, equipment meters, etc ... so not good to have to turn the head back and forth to read the monitor. Again, just me ... 73 Mark AA6DX

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Ideal monitor size

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,
Barry W2UP
