Curious what size monitors everyone uses for reviewing dwgs. I would like one big enough that I can fit an entire sheet on the screen without having to scroll left and right to read notes (which are often on the right side). It needs to be big enough that I can read the notes without to much strain. 32"? 37"? 40"?

I would say 24" would be fine, with 27" would be terrific, and anything bigger is just showing off :-)

As a suggestion, go to your local Mac store and play with the new 27" iMac. You could even email yourself a sample PDF, use your webmail account to access it on the demo machine. That will give you a really nice idea of just how much screen 27" can be.
