I'm just curious. I worked with 640x480 for years, until I got one of these wider monitors they make now. Now I use 1000x750, and it's really helped me to be able to see what I'm doing.
So I'm just thinking about preview window size tonight. Possibly an indication that I have too much time on my hands. Hmm.

I'm from the old school and almost always work with a 600x600 preview window :)

My screen resolution is 1280x1024. I usually draw images with this final size so I pull the preview window until it fills the Poser workspace (leaving room for the Properties window, the Library and the camera controls), then I let Poser trim the size a bit ("Match Production Aspect") to keep proportions.

My preview window size varies from "room" to "room". The Hair and Cloth room previews are the smallest, approximately 450 x 450;the Materials room, is approximately 700 x 700; the Pose room is the largest at approximately 1000 x 750. (:

My screen resolution is 1280x1024, but I use an 800x600 window just to speed up the preview renders as I work.

I generally use 800 x 800 and make square renders, but my UI dots also include a 4:3 setup which yields 1024 x 768. That doesn't leave much room on my 1280 x 1024 monitor, though, so I don't use it unless I have to!

I use 750 by 700. Don't know why I work so small, I have a huge monitor and I render huge. I just like to be able to move the preview around and see all the poser menus I suppose :-)

Now if you have dual monitor capacity, max your preview window on one and move all the controls to the other. Much more efficient workspace.

I use duals, my main a 24" that holds the preview window. In the pose room, I have it at 1400x1275, which matches the ratio for the widescreen monitor (I render everything now at widescreen and trim later in Photoshop). It's smaller in the material room, and not with any real standard aspect ratio because I move some of the palettes over from the second monitor so my material palette occupies all of the 20" monitor. In the cloth room, I enlarged it from the default just so I can see details of the simulation better, but kept all those controls on the same screen so it's maybe 800x800. Hair room is about the same. Face room I don't use, so I haven't bothered to chnage anything there.

My monitor is a 17" and set at 1024 x 768 resolution. It can go all the way to 2048 x 1536 pxls but the print would be wayyyy too small for my old eyes. :) My Poser preview window is usually 500x550 to nake it easier for me to see what I'm working on. Sometimes I size it even larger.

For answer, i've a 21 ", work with 16001200 but for the preview i use a little size like 640480 or 800*600, it's a preview not a render, i think it's the more uselefull if you want a fast render for ... the preview !!! Nothing else !

I usually try to decide what the final size of the image I'm doing is going to be early on and put the preview image in a scale porportional to that.

Well my screen is set to 1280x1024 but I render in Poser at 800 X 800 or a variation (perhaps wider or taller depending on the render) so I can easily reach all my little controls.

I use all the UI dots so I can set thepreview to what ever I need at the time. 800X600, 600 X 800 800 square, 9:16, wide screen.
That are what those dotes are for so why not use them. I also rearange all my tools to match the preview window before I save to the dots with one single white light.
