1) What size screen do you use =================== "15 wide, 19" diagonal -- I suppose they call that a 19 inch. I really don't have room on my desk for a bigger screen, even this is a bit of a push. 2) What resolution do you prefer? =================== I have now gotten used to a higher resolution and use 1280 X 1024. It took a while to adjust to the smaller print. The resolution settings on my monitor will go higher than that, I just don't like it, the print is way, way too small higher. 3) What's the largest size image that you can see on your screen without undue scrolling? This would have to take into consideration real estate eaten up by the browser. ==================== Not really sure. Never tested it. I make my own PESO's max of 800 pixels wide. But I suppose I could see 1000 or more wide. My browser takes up very little territory. I use AOL's built-in browser, and that is one thing I like about it, it has little overhead. Not sure how tall I can see. I'd have to run a test. This has come up so rarely, since most people size pictures down, that I really don't know. 4) What minimum/maximum size images do you prefer to look at? ======================= Whatever size it is so I don't have to scroll sideways. I don't mind scrolling down as much. But I prefer not to do that too. 5) If you had to scroll to see an entire image, would you be less inclined to view additional images from that poster? ======================= Overall, yes. If they consistently did it. But sometimes some people show just one pic supersized and don't do it again. Or only do it rarely. It really depends, for me, on the quality of the photos and the photographer. But see #4, I don't like scrolling sideways for anyone. If it was done consistently by someone, then, yes, I would stop looking. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I really don't know what is the maximum size of the pictures I can see. Maybe I should run a test and answer again. Just too lazy to do it right now and maybe too lazy to do it ever.
