I'm working with a lot of aerials along with the original townships as laid out in 1796-1797 in northeast Ohio.
It is tough to deal with the screen redraws and all on a 23" screen.
I used to have a 27" screen, but that's hardly much bigger . . . not worth it.
I know I should get a nice monitor from the 72" screen with the HMDI cable.
Has anyone ever done this?
Is it "really", worthwhile and if it is, does the number of pixels on a 72" TV screen/monitor, make the redraws go on forever?
It's not your display that slows it down, it's your graphics card. But...yes, I connected my laptop to my 60" panasonic LCD. Very nice
Yes, it's the graphics card that makes the difference in resolution and screen refresh.
I have used a 50" Panasonic plasma for some work. If you only have a limited number of images, you can copy them to an SD card and plug it into the side of all of the Panasonics I've seen. Maybe other brands have this feature too. It's great for viewing if you don't want to be moving non-laptop computers around and cabling them up.
i use a 40" with a 1gb video card without too much refresh issue, but i try to only use a few orthos at a time.
i also use IMAGECLIP to reduce the visible portion of the images
How about using a projector? Then your size would only be limited to the area it's projected on.
Can be a cheaper price as well.
None of this is any good if I don't have the ability to actually get close to it and actually see the same detail I have on the 23" screen . . . and to use the mouse to hilite points.
As far as I am aware a 72" HDTV will have a 1920 x 1080 resolution same as a 22" or whatever monitor. So you will see the pixels bigger. I don;t think it's recommended to be that close to such a large monitor.
Dual or more screens are a different matter - this will give you more size and resolution (and cheaper).

^^^^^ THIS It's all about screen resolution, not size. If you want a better screen, get something with 4k resolution, and an appropriate video card to drive it.
