[Elecraft] What monitor to use?

[Alan Bloom]

1024 x 768 seems to be the lowest common denominator - almost all 
monitors support that resolution.  I normally leave my P3 SVGA set for 
1024 x 768 just because the text is bigger and it makes the lines fatter 
and easier to see.

For a photo, the aspect ratio has to be correct or the photo looks 
"stretched."  For a panadapter or other graph-like image it doesn't matter.
