TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
People doing serious, graphics-intensive work have always used
big monitors. For the last 15 years or so, all systems designed
for high productivity with graphics-intensive work have had monitors
in the 19-22" range. Small monitors are for games; big monitors
are for work. The little monitors (14-17") are an evolutionary
anomaly of the IBM PC branch of the business, which clung to
tiny color monitors longer than anyone else because it clung
to 80x25 text-only applications longer than anyone else. I would
think that the burden of proof would lie on management, which
should be able to demonstrate that the big-monitor standard for
professional graphics work is somehow inoperative in your case.
