What screen size do you use?

I am sorry to hear that. As everyone who has been at it for a while knows, your pages on ancient coins are the most entertaining on the web. I especially like that you help teach people that "grade" is not everything; coins can actually be interesting without being "MS65".

If you don't know of Doug's pages, click on this link when you have an hour or two. If you go here:

At home a 13" HP laptop. On the go, a Google pixel phone. I also use my phone to take photos of coins. I edit all of my photos (stored in the cloud) using the laptop. Then I save them on my laptop and upload to Cointalk.

 

Most websites these days are designed to be "responsive," meaning content will adjust and stack to best fit the viewers screen size. As time goes on, more and more users are accessing the internet exclusively through mobile devices, making this an important design consideration. You can easily purchase a Word press or Drupal theme for very little money that incorporates mobile responsiveness.

 

Great idea Warren! I use PC (23"), iPhone, iPad, and iMac (not as much) on a regular basis. Peference? PC.

I am moving away from the mundane iPhone (too many folks falling into manholes walking around in the street - dummasses), or tablets (cliche), and PC's/MACs are just getting old.

I want to liven up my coin experience and also be able to REALLY see the details (my eyes are getting a little older).

I am having this installed in the back yard (oh, yeah, garden for some of y'all).

How do you go about that I have a spare 36 and the wife has a 18 or 21 and she always says I cant see my screen Can I use yours!!!!!

 

My MacBook Pro has a pixel resolution of 2560 x 1600, but the actual displayed screen/picture size is half of this (1280 x 800) since the display is Apple's "Retina" display which is the same size but has double the resolution of Apple's previous displays. Here's what it looks like:



But I don't use this display at my desk, since my laptop is hooked up to Apple's long-discontinued Cinema display, with real resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels:



I've always believed that the bigger the screen, the more efficiently one can work with a computer, so I continue to use the largest single screen I can effectively view on a desk. Comparing the top and bottom pictures shows why.

Needless to say, even if my eyes could focus on a smartphone's screen at typical viewing distances, I would never use one for accessing the Internet unless it was the only available device and it was some sort of emergency.

 

I spend about 80% of my browsing time on my phone, remainder on my 13” laptop.
