Your input PLEASE! (For your benefit)

I also have a 22" monitor. I think I remember reading that you were trained as an engineer? Your attention to detail is thorough, and you have a lot of consideration for others. Thanks, Corey.

The size of the screen doesn't matter. It's the resolution. If you have a 55 inch monitor or a 25 inch monitor with the same resolution the 55 will just have a bigger pixel to make up for it

Thanks Max. Bob pointed that out earlier as well which I appreciate from both of you. I would say that if you have a larger screen your capability to change the resolution and see the full image is much more likely but you guys are right. Bill created a second thread asking each member to say what size picture he posted shows up the best. That thread will actually be very helpful as well.

Here is Bills thread which asks the most important and easiest to answer question. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/38451-your-input-please-ii-picture-size.html

Thanks to all for the input! I didn't realize such a huge amount of the community is running on this size monitor!

Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm not an engineer. I work in the engineering field (mostly structural) as a designer for custom architectural structures among other things.
 
I'm using a 17" monitor ( widescreen laptop), but I also often use a netbook with a small 13" screen.
 
800x600 is good.
Bigger only if the subject of the photo really needs it. (We don't need big, hi-res photos of product bottles.)

For those talking about their big monitors: Sure, big screens at home and office but these days, as it happens, I use my phone at home, so small pics saves me downloading large pics which would just be resized by android anyway.
 
I always use 800x600 for my pics.... nice part is the forum software automatically re-sizes larger images so you don't have to worry so much about using higher resolution.

The bigger consideration needs to be file size -- some people have much slower internet connections and a pic-heavy thread can take forever to load. The key is finding a balance between a useful resolution and a practical file size.
