    Default Extra Large Monitor!

    Currently using a 55" TV mounted flat to a drafting table to review and examine drawings. The resolution unfortunately is only 1920x1080

    Looking to upgrade to something with higher resolution. Size can vary as long as 24x36 size drawings can be shown full size.


    Any suggestions?

    A "4k" tv should give you 3840 x 2160 - it's worth asking.

    Just keep in mind the currently limited support for UHD/4K resolution in many Autodesk products.

    Really OOTB thinking - get a mini projector and mount it on the wall or ceiling so it projects down onto a table. Not sure if it would work projecting up under a glass table with a piece of paper over it. No worries about finger prints, spilled coffee, or using dry-erase markers.

    I don't get the impression that they would review straight from Revit or any other Autodesk Product.

    I do like the idea of a projector though, I'm all for that type of medium.

    The projector is probably a good idea but a 4k tv probably includes an up-scaling function so still worth looking into I'd have thought.

    Lets take this a step further.

    Smartboard System 6000 Series(educational) vs 8000series(professional ie: ACAD/Revit integration)
    Touchscreen TV

    Thoughts?
