    Default AutoCAD Monitors

    We are currently using (2) 24" monitors and we are looking into replacing one of these with a larger monitor. What size monitor's are you guys using. Trying to get a general idea on what sizes other users are using.
    Thanks.

    I've got a 27" and a 22". I also leave my laptop open, so, 15" as well.

    Stock machine throughout the company is a docked laptop with two 22"s.

    A matched pair of 24s at work for CAD, and an older 19 for email etc. at work. Hopefully next year will replace the 19 with a 27

    Home setup has a 24, a 22, and a wide screen 19 -- kinda weird, but it works.

    2 x cheap 27 inch, 1 x nice 27 inch. All positioned horribly on my desk. GPU is a disappointing GTX 1070, that I'm tempted to change for a P1000/P2000 Quadro.

    I have always used IIyama monitors, At present I'm rockin 4No. 27" and 2No. 22" Touch screen.

    I have been using 6 Monitors for the last 3-4 years on died about 2 years ago and thought I could do without it, it was like working with a broken arm. I also have a height adjustable keyboard stand that supports you from your elbow to the mouse. also there is a foot rest under the keyboard stand to rest your feet on. I broke a leg badly coming of my Harley and this is what the OT said to get.

    Question: Is anyone here using BenQ monitors with CAD/CAM capability? If so, should I go there, or toward newer tech?
    I'm planning to go with two 27" for Revit.
    Thx.
