We use 11x17 and set the pdfs to default at
single page, fit page display. Our default
resolution for docs is 600 dpi.

Since a manual I am making will primarily be displayed only in PDF on
the screen, I want to make it landscape. I'm used to having huge
monitors so I'm trying to work out the appropriate dimensions so that
the user has a good experience seeing the whole page on one screen at
100%.

Right now I have it set at 10" x 6.5" with 0.4" margins. Although I
haven't had a chance to test at lower resolutions on standard
(non-laptop) monitors.

What dimensions do other TWs use for their landscape manuals?
