> for cad/cam I would not use that low of a resolution, nothing will properly fit the screen, he would be better off with a 24" for the drawing file itself and a 19" for the tools bars and preview. I am using a 20" widescreen and I juts switched to the 1360x768 and its just not enough realistate. Also when 3D modeling with surface finish you will want the refresh rate why orbiting the drawing

yeah, the resolution height would really kill it… I’m using 1600X1200 on a 21" right now and its not cutting the mustard so to speak… was looking to go as large as possible
