What kind of monitor do we recommend

On this site we present our products with high quality images, we do this to enable you to verify the product quality. Therefore we recommend using a monitor with at least 1024x768 resolution. Personally  I prefer using a 1440x900 monitor.

Some statistics (source http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp):

Display Resolution

The current trend is that most computers are using a screen size of 1024x768 pixels or more:

Color Depth

The current trend is that most computers use 24 or 32 bits hardware to display 16,777,216 different colors.

Older computers and laptops often use 16 bits display hardware. This gives a maximum of 65,536 different colors.

Handheld computers (and very old computers) often use 8 bits color hardware. This gives a maximum of 256 colors.

Info

Do you want to sell your antique maps or atlases?

If you wish to offer us maps for sale, it is most helpful to provide a list of maps which includes the title of the map, the mapmaker, the size of the map (printed image only) and a brief condition report. Pictures are also very helpful. It is typically not necessary to send more than one picture per map, unless requested.
