The more pixels the better. The actual size will depend on what your eyes can handle.

I'm on 27" @ 2560×1440. It more than covers my window needs (well… it did, until the new inventory UI came and bloated things up by requiring more and larger windows than before).

Samsung 55" LED Smart @ 1920x1080. Loving LED contrast ratios.

I have 2 x 24" 1080p 1920*1080 which gets me a resolution of 3840*1080 if i want it, thats awsome, but i usually multi box with both screens.
I actually just got the 2nd screen 2 weeks ago and now i wonder how i ever lived without it.
twice the gameplay, twice the addiction.

TBH if you want to really appreciate eve go for 1920*1080 at least, you will get a 24" monitor for as little as £110 (gbp) for a decent budget monitor

Same Club (if you know someone with a membership) has been having amazing prices on Samsung monitors. Cheaper then Amazon. I run Eve at the max and its lovely.

Everything above 22" is fine. Two monitors if you're playing with alt.

I got 24" at 1920 and that's more than enough.

It depends on your hardware, really. EVE doesn't need the latest and greatest computer or anything but if you run it in a high res then you'll need the hardware to back it up. 23" 1920x1080 here, no complaints.

Using a 26" with 1920x1200 resolution .. looks awesome and there is a lot of space to watch the awesomeness of eve :)

But i guess the 19" is good aswell ..

I would Recomend a 32" TV monitor .. but that would require alot other **** aswell :P

Using a single 26" widescreen at 1920 x 1080. Still wish I had a bigger viewing area or additional screens but that costs money.

Yeeee!

^THIS^

Monitors are cheap, skip the dual and go triple. I have 3 displays, 23" @ 1920x1080 each. Sometimes I play as 3 different screens (Main / Alt-1 / Alt-2) and sometimes I play with the main character on 5760x1080 (with horizontal being a big bigger due to bezel correction).

Note: 1200 pixels on the vertical allows for a few more targets on the overview without having to scroll down looking that primary up.

For the LuLz I have a pic of my rig: Picture of Rig

As you can see, I saved money by not getting a proper PC Desk or a PC Case.

PS: Item #10 on the pic is because I have kids and you need napkins around all the time. Don't get any weird ideas. :\

Tried a 55" plasma on one PC, maybe it was graphics card(runs 2x 22" monitors beautifully). It looked like shat! Usually just use 24" Mac.

2x 21.5", spread across both at 1080p Smile Helps if you can get identical monitors

Plenty of space to see stuff.

Woo! CSM XI!

This rig runs 4 clients at high while streaming Netflix on 2x 22", but looks like crap running one client on a 55". As shown in pic.

I have 3 monitors. A 27" in the center (1920x1080) and old 17"s on either side (1280x1024). I run in windowed mode with the account requiring the most attention on the 27" and the second account on one of the 17"s. That leaves a 17" for EVE HQ, Skype, a (full-featured) web browser, and fetish XXX movies.
