Anand, when you get to be ancient and decrepit like some of us 'over 45' folks are...the larger the monitor, the easier it is to do the editing! I'm running a 17" on my computer for the amaya, but on all my macs I've gone to 19"-and I don't have to do anywhere NEAR as fine editing with my sign and screenprinting work! With the program toolbars, etc. in Design shop, even with a 17" monitor you end up with about 6-8" of 'active' window to zoom in and work on the design. When you have to zoom right in to find stitches and move fine points-the bigger the monitor the easier it is. I'm hopefully taking some spare change for christmas and buying my Amaya a bigger monitor before I have to use reading glasses AND a magnifying glass! Resolution does't mean much if the monitor isn't big enough to see all of the design in full size!
