Display Screens for SolidWorks
Display Screens for SolidWorks
(OP)
Hi Everyone,
The company I work for are looking into phasing out the old CRT Monitors that, due to their age, are beginning to fail.
I have been asked to asses the option of going to TFT/LCD Monitors.
My question is ... Is there a preffered standard, in terms of size/screen resolution/contrast ratio/access time, that you the community feel best works well for the Solidworks application.
I would be grateful to hear your comments.

- Screen size range suitable for viewing distance (in my situation 21-24", no smaller, no larger)
- Resolution: as high as possible, 1920x1200 minimum
- Decent color reproduction
- Sufficient backlight to work at 3/4 of max setting (headroom for lamp wear!)
- Decent contrast ratio @ 3/4 of max brightness
- Even lighting
- Looks / stand / cable management
Samsungs panels have allways worked well for me (both in Dell & Samsung branded monitors)

Another thing is that cheesy monitors won't let you see the screen from a slight angle from normal. If you get a really big monitor, this won't work, since you'll have areas of the monitor that won't show well (especially if you're sitting close). Imagine bobbing your head around to get a better view (like looking through a microwave oven door)--not very helpful.
Monitors have improved drastically and the prices have fallen the same. But there is still a lot of lame crap out there for sale.
By the way, I use a Gateway 21" widescreen. I can plug in HDMI (if I ever want to) along with all sorts of other stuff--I threw away my TV.
