I am posting in this forum because people without cockpits might not get my problem and question. I have built a generalized GA cockpit that currently uses 3 out of 3 available monitors, plus an android pad (32' main monitor for flying, 13" monitor for AirManager gauges, a 10" HP touchscreen for GPS, Android 10" for 2nd panel of AirManager gauges, plus a 7" monitor for wet compass). I have a decent radio stack (Propwash), and I want to start using a better ATC program. I am leaning toward Pilot2ATC. It seems like most 3rd party ATC requires a "second" monitor (in my case, "5th" monitor that doesn't exist - the current 7" will have to go). I want to add a dedicated montior for ATC
But what to replace it with? Space is quite limited, and this monitor will be solely for running the ATC program. I need to use the smallest possible monitor, but still be able to see/read it from 2 1/2 to 3 feet. My eyes are not young any more and are not great. My questions:
1) For those who have ATC on a second monitor, how small a monitor do you think someone could get away with, and still see ATC communications?
2) I am leaning toward Pilot2ATC, but if you have other suggestions, I am open to hearing it. (I run P3D 4 & 5, am starting XP 11) But please tell me your opinion about monitor size.
Thank you in advance for your considerations and advice.
