are there any limits to screen size for OD? or screen resolutions?

we are looking at going to larger screens 30-47 inch?

For a while there was a bug that caused a problem with that size. It was resolved months ago. So no, there is not a limit. I'm jealous.

That is big! We have a couple of 24" widescreens and they work really well for our front desk.

I was at the XDR booth this past weekend at the CDA convention. The rep there insisted on certain monitor make/model due to the contrast/lumens required to display digital X-rays in all its glory. Do you have any concerns about that as Vizio is not exactly a known good brand for displaying X-rays? It would certainly work great as a monitor/TV though.

We use a 17inch monitor and like to keep post it notes on the right margin about 1.5inches wide.
So we try to re-size OD to give us room for our 'Urgent ToDo List' but it doesn't 'stay' the size or location we want.

(Windows usually remembers a re-sized window when you close it).

But after a few tabs back a forth between programs OD ends up as a 1 inch shrunkin column on the left side of the screen.
It only seems to like being full size.

Is there a way to make it 'stay' the way we want?

I have seen that. We've never really tested it very much at anything other than maximized. We'll keep an eye out for it.

have not had a problem with the vizio but the screen size of OD is irritating i wish it would remember its previous screen size and also location. I use two screens and OD always defaults to the primary screen. Od alsocould better use the new wider screen sizes. all the free real estate on the right of the wider screens drives me nuts as all the images in the chart layout are squashed to little thumbnails at the bottom of the layout.
