"I have got a massive resolution 1600 x 1080...[on my screen]. If you run them at lower than what they're designed to they're blurry - you have to put up with what they come with. I like the resolution because you can fit more on the screen. I don’t mind it being small – My eyes are quite good. I used to get told off at work because I had a million windows open! With my screen, you can turn it portrait. If you view a whole A4 page you can still read it, you don’t have to scroll. They have got them in the computer lab."
"I would advise anyone to get a wide good quality screen that rotates so that if you can turn it to portrait and this makes it much easier to read PDF files. I have a very high resolution so it is essentially like having two monitors. I will have the document I am writing on the left and something like an internet browser on the right with my research. It saves so much time and is cheaper than having two monitors which take up too much space."

"I don’t print everything out, as long as it’s a LCD flat screen, I am fine with it. I don’t like the old screens as I have funny eyes and I can see them flickering. It drives me insane. They are OK when they are set up right, but I am fine with LCD as they are crisper."
