Just curious what most people use re resolution choices.

Now that I have a flatscreen monitor, and it's 19 inches too, I can set it to a very high resolution to get the clear thing going. And with the larger screen it's not too small as it was with my old 17 inch when I tried it with that one LOL.

At work I have this old PC, with Dial-up to boot, and it's set at 600x800, LOL everyone's sig here is huge! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I like 1024x768. It lets me put the pics I want on my desktop centered, and still have that jungle of icons on the side. I swear I don't know what some of those are.

1280 by 1024 is my current, and probably what I'll keep for a long long time...though it wasn't that high until I got my new monitor.

800 by 600. My eyes will hurt badly if I put it smaller than that.

Max, 1600x1200. The monitor's 20.1' of LCD awesomeness though, so it's not as bad as it sounds. :D

<font color=8fbc8f>There is more to it than just that, especially with an LCD, and really so if it's digital, and your vid card is DVI compatable.

With that; "Native" 1280 x 1024 *63.98kHz-H x 60Hz-V DVI. </font>

1024 x 768

on my new 19" LCD w/DVI it will be 2400 X 1600
it's Toshiba newest but I'll be running it at
1280 X 1024 because at it's higest setting

flee dancing way far away. Just what my Eyes need more strain LOL :D

1024x768 is what works well for me. Not too big, not too small. [img]smile.gif[/img]

1024x768 for me as well.

I run my Dell at 1920x1200.

Another 1024x768 too.

1024 x768 - Used to be 800 x600 but I got a new videocard at home and a new pc at work!

1024 x 768 if i'm desktopping. 800 x 600 if i'm gaming. I prefer silky smooth gaming over crisp jerkiness any day.

1280 x 1024 @75HZ. The refresh rate is more important to me than the resolution. 60Hz and bellow hurt my eyes.

1024 X 768 is just right for me especially when I'm gaming.

Wow mine is unique... 1152x864 [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And I keep the refresh rate at 80Hz or whatever more my monitor (19"CRT flatscreen) can handle.

That was my old PC though. Right now I'm limited to what internet cafes offer... :(

EDIT:
oh and my laptop is 1024x768, 60Hz

The 'nice' resolution for me depends largely on how big your monitor is:
15' = 800x600
17' = 1200x700 (my current)
19' = 1200x1000 (me brudders, the lower resolutions look too big on those screens)

I keep my refresh rate at 85 Hz, my wife can 'see' the refreshing with 60. Ingame I tend to use lower refresh rates because it seems to have influence on how fast my game runs. And I'll echo some wise words: 'I prefer silky smooth gaming over crisp jerkiness any day.'

1280x1024 because that's the native resolution of my monitor. Running at 60Hz, not that this is particularly important for an LCD.

Now I want that 30" monitor!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

1200x960 @ 60Hz on a 17"

btw, hi Wendy

Haha yeah the 30" would be nice, but you could nearly get two 2405's for that price [img]tongue.gif[/img]

1280x1024 here, that's the highest a 19" LCD goes I'm afraid.

Hi Mirac! Wow haven't see you in ages!! I hope you are doing well [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just planning for my new computer/monitor's backround, what looks good on a 19" widescreen?

Same here. Love the res, and all games and 3D modeling programs run excellent in this resolution. [img]smile.gif[/img] LCD, 19 inch, DVI.

800 x 600. Why try anyting else?

1440x900.. you'll never turn back.

ROTFL Attatus. Try a larger monitor, LCD preferably, then kick the resolution higher and you'll see why one would try something else. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well I guess from my thread here I see that most use the same resolution as I do, so that's cool. Was just wonderin cause I got to thinking when I post pictures here, they look one size to me on my screen, but might be huge on like, say, Attalus' screen LOL. But since most I see use high resolutions for the most part, no worries then, any pics I post here are fine size wise, and clear, to most everyone anyways.

1280 by 1024 75hz Never had such a clear image on a monitor before.

I tied putting it up to 1600 by 1200, but it was too small

I have a 19" flat screen. Why should I change? It just makes everything itty-bitty.

I'm using a 19" widescreen at 1440x900 and everything's a comfortable size.

Works fine for me...
