For years (2000 to 2008) I designed software that worked only with multiple (4 to 8) 2K by 2.5K monitors.
Although I admit these were grayscale and if I needed any color I had to have a separate monitor for that.

And it’s a real challenge to fit an enterprise application with a rich UI in there.

Tis what I said. Our app will happily run on a smaller screen, the real issue is the amount of screens that the users wish to have open and visible at the same time.

Probably a more accurate question would be how much real estate the users need. In theory, our software has no limitations on the screen size. In practice the users want as much as possible. No, double that.
Most real users have 6 or 8 large screens in their monitor bank. The usual set up is 1 monitor for Bloomberg, one for e-mail and browser, and the others are filled with our app. The individual forms are not that large, save for some of the order blotters, but the users will have a lot open. A trader may well be following a dozen stocks with an L2 and then you can add in prop-trading and order handling.

I didn't mention BACON this week, sorry.

We've got users running XP and (worse) IE6 on eye-strain inducing CRT monitors runing at 640x480.

Quote: That is such a Western Perspective
Rubbish. It's a statistical perspective
1. Browser display statistics[^]
2. Screen-resolutions.com[^]
I guess a "Western" perspective would be starting the stats at 800 and moving up - but even then that cuts out any web developer who's heard of a mobile device, and all mobile device devs themselves.
