I am looking to upgrade my hardware. I would like to know what monitor sizes others are using and what size seems to be the best for EVE. I am currently on a 1280x1024 screen (19") now.

Do you keep your ship on one and all open windows on the other?

I was on 1280x1024 up until a week ago. It's playable, but you really want more real estate for Windows Online. I switched to a 22" 16:10 (1680x1050 native) and have more than enough space for my scrubcasualbearing needs.

Dual 27 inch monitors for Eve and a third that's only 24 for the web browser.

I run dual 1080P, one 23.5" and the other 27". but be sure you'll have the workhorse graphics card to run it. I have a 560ti, and that's fine for one full quality client and another mid quality client.

I'm looking at moving to a setup like that if I get a 670.

The only way I have done gaming since 2006 has been on a 60" television. Sure most max out at 1080p, but it is cheaper than buying a second monitor, plus I don't have space in my room for a second screen.

I have a SyncMaster XL2370. very nice and very light backlit monitor. Handles sun glare very well.

If your graphics card supports 2 video outputs I suggest you keep the old monitor and just run 2. I have 2 monitors currently both running different resolutions and different sizes. Windows basicaly configures it for you. Makes maps or brousing the forums whilst palying the game nice and easy

Going from 1024x768 to 1920x1080 was like being blind and then suddenly being able to see again, I definitely recommend it!

23" IPS 1920x1080 - dirty cheap today. Bright but still not exciting enough - probably should try 40" TV or 3 displays combined.
