Picture
                                            Size of Displays
​The maximum size for displays is 1.2 m wide,    1.22 m high, and   71cm deep.  Most students do not need a display anywhere near this size.  

​I would suggest that a width of 60-90 cm , a height of 1.2 m  and a depth of 30-50 cm  would fit most displays.
