What resolution do you run your Monitor at?

What refresh rate do you guys use?
What is the best, and what are the benefits?

I have been using 1280x1024 for a while now.. my laptop is also at this resolution. I am using a 19 inch Monitor too.
I cannot imagine someone using the 2050x1950 or whatever.. You would need a dang 21 inch and STILL it would look small. Adobe Photoshop is nice at 1280x1024. You can have lots of boxes open and still have room to draw--I also go to 1600x1200 for some things..

Depends where I'm at. 1280 x 1024 at home, 1024 x 768 at work.
Higher resolutions than that tend to wear out these old eyes! -Saz

I use 1024 on a 14" monitor at 60hz and I have no problems whatsoever. both refresh rate and resolution are limited by hardware, I would prefer to have a higher refresh and resolution (even at 14").

1152 x 864 for me. I only have a 17 inch monitor, so anything smaller than that becomes plain silly.
