Hi all,

I was doing some work on an access database today that I am using for customer details, bills, etc. I asked a friend to test it on his machine due to some references I added and wanted to be sure it worked, and he said it was far too big to even work with, I use a 22" monitor usually at 1600 x 1200 but sometimes a bit lower and was just wondering what size you all use and at what res. If you use dual display, do you use the same res on both, or have the "design" monitor and "finished product" display set differently (assuming of course you use dual display in that way)

Thanks

[EDIT]
Forgot to say, please also put if using a CRT (chunky glass thing) or TFT/LCD (thin stylish type!)

Thanks

Just measured mine, the TV screen bit in the middle is 9''x12'', the full length is 15''. Wasn't on the pole.

Don't know what the resolution is, but it's very clear :D

Hi confused.
My 'tv bit' is also 15". I like them small. I use a TFT for space saving, with a 1024 X 768 res.

Cheers, Nigel

19" CRT
1280 x 960 (4:3 ratio)

I really don't get the 1280x1024 aspect... doesn't make sense when all the others are 4:3. Maybe I missed something. ;)
