Screen & Monitors
Screen Sized and Montirs are essential tools to display your computer work.
Introduction
What is the recommended Screen Size and resolution of your extra montor? That depends on the resolution your computer can produce. Let's give some facts.
Recommendations
- 23/24-inch screen in 16:9 format: resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (also known as Full-HD).
23/24-inch screens with a 16:10 aspect ratio are even better.
This comes with a resolution of at least 1920 × 1200 pixels (WUXGA).
The extra lines can make working more comfortable for you because you don’t have to scroll as much and you can easily view and edit two A4 pages that are almost in their original size side-by-side, for example. - 27-inch screen: resolution of at least 2560 × 1440 pixels (WQHD), preferably 3840 x 2160 (also referred to as UHD 4K).
This pleasant combination of screen size and resolution offers much more room to work compared to Full-HD, especially if you use several windows simultaneously. - 32-inch screen: a resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels (UHD 4K) and aspect ratio of 16:9 offers you the most space and an optimal display size for your contents and for dividing up your screen area.
