How do people run on 1600x1200???

[Gothgar]

I was trying to look at my coworkers screen and I couldn't see sh!t, they had some uber 1600x1200 resolution, damn who can see that good huh?

I can understand 12x10, but come on now, how many windows do you really need to see on your desktop at once???

Its all about the quality of the monitor, or hitting the native resolution if its an LCD. And of course its going to look small if you've been running 1024 and are used to that..

1600x1200 on a 20inch LCD is very easy to get used to, and you'll never go back and loewr resolutions..

My C840 laptop runs at 1600x1200 by default, but it's got very sharp detail.

I thought parody threads were supposed to be funny, and obviously a parody? 😕

ha, my thoughts exactly 😛

all in good fun, plus, if you make them seem like not a parody thread, then more people fall for it, and then it is funnier...

my monitor can't run 16x12 at a good enough refresh rate 🙁

I have to use 1280.

 

[bandana163]

1024x768 is small/big enough for me.
The distance between my head and the screen is about 90-100cm. I can't use 1600x1200 effectively.

 

[TitanDiddly]

I run 16x12 on 21" IBM P260. Everything fullscreen.

 

[SWScorch]

I saw both of these threads, and before I even opened them I knew one was a paordy, but I actually thought this one was the original!

 

[b0mbrman]

I assume most people who run 16x12 do it just because they can...or just so they can brag about it on AnandTech 😉

Actually... I have my lcd's closer to me than I did my crt when it was 1280x.... so even though the res is higher... they are closer so it's ok

 

[Tbirdkid]

my wife cant see anything smaller than 1024x 768. so i cant go smaller... i would if i could... i love it at 1600x1200

 

[MuffD]

At work on a 21" LCD, I run 1600x1200 with no problems. Home, I have to run 1280x1024 just so my wife can see. I like the extra desktop space.

 

[Confused]

15" LCD on my laptop runs at 1600x1200.

Can't stand looking at a 15" desktop LCD running 1024x768 🙁

 

[Falloutboy]

I run at 1600 at home and anything lower than 1280 gets on my nerves
