Hi, rather than display capabilities, we should consider how human can interpret a long line. It is established that he can read and understand 10 entities (words or signs) at a glance. Coding usages give a useful line width about 75-85 characters. We should add to this an average indent. Personally, I use 95 chars as max length, and I'm happy with this, even in side-by-side display (modern IDE have automatic horizontal scroll, so deep indent is not a problem here).
