What resolution be you using?

[Lugiatm]

I be using 800x600... Arr!

[SWE]

1280x1024 :)

[Garry2]

Also 1280x1024 :)

[Bloopo]

1152x878... I have a mac monitor...

[Lugiatm]

1152x878... I have a mac monitor...
*Gasp* a Mackerel monitor eh?

[StupidCatOfDoom]

1024 x 768 85 hertz...I can have a way higher screen res, but they get unreadable when too small and you can't have the refresh rate as high...it hurts my eyes, also my monitor emits a whining noise with really high/low resolutions

[Lagmeister]

I normally have mine sat on 1024x768, I find larger resolutions tend to make me sit too close to the monitor, where it might proceed to latch onto my head and feed on the nutricious goo inside.

[Lewiji]

1024x768, fonts look out of proportion on higher...

In games 1280x1024 if I get a decent fps :)

[Al2]

I have mine on 1280x1024 because I have a TFT screen, which pretty much enforces it. I solved the problem of fonts looking too small by getting a larger monitor. :)

[grooveBiscuit]

Another 1280x1024, anything smaller looks huge.

[Mystical Parrot]

1152x864, its nicer than your puny 1280 or 1024

[Munkee]

1280 x 768 (Samsung Wide Screen job)

[Cloud]

I be using 1024x768

[Dr_nwa]

1280*1024

[Paradigm^]

One wonders what the actual point of this thread is...

1280x1024 on my lovely 17" flatscreen at uni; on the laptop loaned to my mum from her school (she's a teacher) which I've commandeered (:D), 1024x768.

[sack the chimp]

Wow, this thread makes me feel inadequate and inefficient (nothing new there then)!

1024x768 here on my old 17", which I find about right. At work I'm on something higher, 1280x1024 I think, and I forget if thats a 19" or 21" flatscreen CRT, so it's easier to see.

800x600 clearly looks wrong though, that's what my dad's PC is set to.

[Aladdin Sane]

1024x768 on this PC and 800x600 on my Linux one. Both set to the highest resolution they can handle, and both are old 15" things.

[budrick]

1280x1024x32 on my main machine, 1024x768x24 on one of my Linux machines (via VNC)

[da-geezer]

1280*1024

Oh yes. Even if it means I have to actually move my head to see everything on the screen.

MORE STUFF ON SCREEN = MORE WIN!!11

[Eridanus]

Errr... 1600x1200
On my 19" CRT

[EDY-innit]

Why do most of you have it set 1280*1024? That's not a proper-shaped-scaled-up-from-the-likes-of-640*480-and-800*600-and-1024*768!

Go 1280*960. At 60Hz.

[crab]

800 by 600, go massive sizes.

[budrick]

1280x960 (proper 4:3 aspect ratio) and 1280x1024 seem to be as popular as each other. Why, I have no idea. I did run at 1280x960 for a while, but then I realised: Why give up extra pixels? :)

I'd probably run at a higher res if this monitor didn't drop to less than 85Hz at 1600x1200

My monitor is designed for it. :)

[Comrade Smith]

1024x768.

its just good. I need a dual monitor setup like my friends have.

[Oooh Yeah]

gonna + you for pure stupidity of this thread, you cracked a smile out of me.

[Bloopo]

Dual 21" monitors are sweet, but they can get a bit laggy or slow sometimes.

People who moan about expensive equipment often sound kentish.

[RobW]

1024x768 be I using.

Many monitors nowadays (especially the everso popular 17" TFT) are in 4:5 ratio rather than the more traditional 4:3 that you refer to.

My monitors are set at:

(going clockwise round my room!)

1280x960
1024x768
1024x768
1280x960
1600x1200
1024x768

and I'm soon getting a rather odd 14" monochrome potrait monitor that my Dad had lying around. That will run at 768x1024!

[Timmeh]

1280x1024 on this 17" monitor... I've got a 21" crt too on 1600x1200.

Games, 600 * 800 all the way, nice big heads to aim at... :D

[EasyTiger]

1600x1200 on 21" monitor (space for photos baby!), 1024x768 on laptop, and 1280x800 widescreen on laptop i'm selling.

[Anticheese]

1280 x 768

I have a '17 LCD Flatscreen that I have had for little more than 4 months.

Also for an avid gamer like me you need all the desktop space you can get :)
