Hi friends

Like you guys, me too into Web and Graphics  
It would be useful …if you provide some information about your Monitor size and monitor resolution .

Which monitor size is ideal for web design ?  
and in which monitor resolution you are working ?

I am using 19 inch Viewsonic in 1280 x 1024 resolution

your setup sounds ideal. I work at that resolution on an 18" monitor.

I couldn’t get used to 1280x1024 on a 19", jumped straight to 1600x1200… although I have two 17" monitors set up here (1280x1024) at work side by side, great setup for both graphic design and coding.

I use 17" at 1024 x 768.

I think 1024 x 768 is the best for designing because you’ll always remember what resolutions to use for other peoples resolutions. You have a good restriction when designing and it also doesn’t limit you.

And also - you’ll be able to view most sites at a great size. If your monitor is too big, sometimes sites tend to look way too small :).

Your choice though. Whatever fits you ;).

I have a 21" monitor at 1600x1200 coupled with another 21" monitor running 1280x1024 (on the same machine). I love it. I wish that my second monitor supported 1600x1200 at a decent refresh rate though.

I’d say the bigger the resolution and size the better. I love being able to see tons of my code/design work at one time, and when in photoshop or flash, I have my panels all on one monitor and my workspace clear so I can see what I’m doing :).
