OT: High resolution rocks!

[MDE]

I picked up a refurb 21" CRT (IBM P260, Trinitron tube) from Microcenter yesterday and wow is all I can say. I finally don't have to scroll side to side on most web pages, and yeah, games are so much prettier . The only bad thing is that it weighs 70 lbs, I was scared that it would crack my glass desktop.

This thing makes my laptop's 1280x800 screen look like I have the Windows font size bumped up for the visually impaired. I still can't believe how BIG this thing is.

I'm stuck with max 1280x1024 on my hunk o junk 17" CRT.

Mine is now... (sigh) somewhat dated, and I can only come close at 20", But I've loved my Sony from day one.

High Res rocks.

I've been meaning to build a machine for my 55" TV (which has computer input capability) To play UT on the 55... priceless. Maybe if I ever have money again, I'll do that.

I cant get used to anything over 1024X768, I sometimes have to raise the resolution, but the damn text gets too small to read if I raise it too much.

lol, my Mitsu 91TXM 21-incher weighs 95lb :shocked: Mine's not the greatest for text, so I run it at 1280x1024, but games look great at 1600x1200 :thumbsup:

Samsung 213T (21.3") at 1600x1200 over DVI rocks as well.

But CRTs still have the edge if you want fine color and no ghosting. :thumbsup:

Congrats on your new acquisition!

For text I use my Hitachi 19" @ 1600x1200 @ 75hz

For movies, games & HDTV I use my Optoma H31 & a 92" screen.
My HTPC does a good job with dvd's using ffdshow & zoomplayer Pro I upscale 2.5x & the playback is smooth as silk.

Half Life 2 is really great on that thing, it has some 16:9 resolution choices and I just gotta say IT ROCKS!!!

(I saved up for a long time & sold a lotta stuff on Ebay to get that projector)

1680x1050 2005fpw here, and 1920x1200 on my 15.4" laptop (yeah it's crazy).

WTF is with these ultra-high res laptop screens? Are they going for IBM T221 density on portable LCDs these days?!? :shocked:

 

[EULA]

high resolution simply kicks ass...its a known fact!

 

[Overkiller]

just got my 2001FP lcd. God i love it. 1600x1200. Wow.

I did bump up the font size a tad however

 

[Overkiller]

Did i mention I got ~400 off on it

 

[conjur]

1400x1050 on my laptop

1280x1024 on 2 17"LCD's. THe only thing better then a high resolution, is dual monitor!

I am saving up to go 2x19" LCD!
