I'm making a push to 19" wide screens for our tax department. At this size in a portrait rotation allows us to view page length documents at a readable size, and view the entire page of a tax return at one time, without any scrolling. I myself am using a 22.5" in portrait mode, and in addition to two other 15" monitors (one is the built in laptop monitor) and will probably rarely change it back to landscape. Choice of monitor depends on the applications used and how the end users use said applications. On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 1:23 PM, Sam Cayze <sam.ca...@rollouts.com> wrote:
