actually 18" viewable CRTs. i have trouble seeing things setting it to 1600x1200, so i leave it at 1024x768

1024x768 most of the time for me. I use AA if the jaggies get to me. My 9700np is getting a little weak on some of the latest FPS games anyway, so I have to keep the res moderate.

I'm like you in this regaurd.

have both on 19" LCD 12x10 and on 19" trinitron 10x7.

dislike small stuff cause I sit about 4 ft away which is why I disliked the dell native 16x12 way too small

Also the 17" lCD's with 12x10 are too small which is why native 12x10 on 19 an 18" is preferred IMO.

Typically 1152x864, I find it looks significantly better than 1024x768 and nearly as good as 1280x960 while allowing decent levels of AA and AF on my aging 9700pro. But that's just me, YMMV.

12x10 on my 19" Triniton, no reason to go higher, I can't see the details anyway.I would like a better AA, AF setting though :p

1024X768 on my 19" CRT. 1280X1024 on my 19" LCD (native res) - only for slower moving games like Warcraft 3.

CoD at 1164x8xx works for me on my 19"Dell CRT
Painkiller is set to 1280x1024
Cant remember the other games. I have to reinstall most of them.

usually 1280x960 or 1280x1024 whatever is most compatible. Some games dont like one or the other resolution. Sometimes I will go in 1024x768 but some games look terrible in that res while other dont. All depends on the game.

1280x960

Sometimes 1600 x 1200 if I can get away with decent frames.

1280x960x100hz usually. i go lower if my system just can't handle the game.

i dont do 1600x1200 cuz my refresh is at 75hz, and it hurts my eyes.
