    What are the screen resolution sizes you are using on your Mach3 computer?

    As the title says, what screen size resolution are you using for Mach3 operation? Im interested what monitor display size you all are using! Eg. 800x600px, 1024x768px, 1366 x 768px, 1280x800px, or 1400x900px?

    I use a 15" LCD, with 1024x768 being the maximum. If I had a larger monitor, I'd run a higher resolution.

    Gerry, so where do you place your monitor? In an CNC enclosure or open air?

    The pool would be better if it included all the commonly available monitor resolution.
    For example 1280x1024 is the most common resolution for 4:3 aspect monitors in 17" and 19" sizes.
    As this is not a choice, I can not supply an accurate vote.

    Open air, but I keep it covered with a towel when not in use, to keep the dust off of it.

    1024x768; got an older touch screen unit (Advantech brand) off eBay. Apparently it's made for the medical field, it's pretty dust proof so it just sits in the open and gets cleaned once in a while.

    It's networked with "my documents" shared so I can send code to it from any other system. Then just open Mach3 and go for it.

    Edit: Hum... seems like I just replied to an old post... wonder why it comes up when clicking "New Posts" on top :/

    Somebody just voted. That updates the thread date/time even though no new post has been added to the thread.
