I am forced into 62x160 because of fixed 3270 definitions used
where I work. My other options are MOD2-5, which do not give me
the viewing space I am used to having (at least 43 lines and 133
wide).
However, with 62x160, VM and TSO/ISPF work OK.
But keep a watch on ISPF. Some releases ago, it supported a
larger screen size (same as the max size of VM if I remember
correctly).
When I use a TN3270 emulator that I can control, I configure it
for the best size for the monitor I am using. So I change the
size depending on which monitors I'm connected to (which nearly
always handles 43x133). Then I don't have to wear glasses to see
the small fonts. And I size things similar to what I do with a
browser. When I can get away with it, I keep browsers down to
half-width of the display and just short of the task bar.

We're building a new product which will have several UI's; ISPF,

optimize the screen real estate for todays customer.
I use a custom 60x160 which seems to be the norm in our office.
Lots of the tools we use, especially debuggers like z/XCD and
DebugTool work much better with that model.
I use RDz for development but for most stuff fall back on the
green screens like SDSF and tools that don't have a good GUI,
which is 90% of them.
What screen size do you use?
