Poll: 17" monitor users: What resolution are you running ?

[err]

I am building a web page and I would like to know what resolution people run in general. Please take one second and vote

If your resolution is not available, choose the next closest one.

1280x960 for me ... that's the correct 4:3 resolution.

I make another poll for the 19" and above

Thanks for asking ... man you guys are FAST !!

Sometimes 1152x864x32bit.

What about us poor ppl that dont have room for nothing bigger then a 15" (not long till thats out the window though)?
I probably run my lil 15" at higher res then most ppl do with larger mointors

At home I run 1152x864 on a 15", only because my monitor won't do 1280x960 above 60 hz.

Here at work I run 1280x1024 on a 17", only because 1280x960's not an option & it won't do 1600x1200 above 60 hz.

So, it seems that many people runs at higher resolutions.

Are you confortable with viewing smaller text on web pages ? or do you actually enlarge the text size on your browser?

I believe 1280x960 16bit.

 

[shopbruin]

1024x768

 

[hominid skull]

1280x1024x32, i have tried 1600x1200x32 but i couldn't read anything without a magnifying glass..

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Gee wiz, this is the third one of these that I voted in

14" 1024x768
17" 1280x1024
19" 1600x1200
I turn the size of everything down and would go higher if I could.

 

[pillage2001]

Hei, whatever happened to 800X600??

I'm using that at 32Bit True Colour.

 

[fragarific]

not to be at anandtech too long on a certain day

 

[Imported]

1280x960 here. The correct 4:3..

 

[thelanx]

I used to be on 600X800 32 bit, but for a while now on 1024x768 32 bit.

 

[SonOfZeuz]

800x600 here, no need for anything higher, well unless you want to get real close to you monitor.
I would maybe go one step higher with a 19"

What is the advantage to having a higher res? besides a little less scrolling in some aps.

The original question was about building a web page, i think you should stay at 800x600 or 1024x768 as thats what the majority of web surfers are using, acording to visitor stats anyway.

 

[arod324]

1024X768 32bit. Anything bigger is makes it too small on a 17" monitor.

 

[BowDown]

1024x768x16

Yes I still use 16-bit. There's not enough of a reason to go to 32-bit on the desktop yet.

What are you talking about the exact 4:3 resolution?

1024 / 4 = 256
256 * 3 = 768

4:3?

 

[Pyxis]

1280x1024x32, tried higher resolutions but they are too small on a 17".

 

[Wuming]

1280x1024, true color 32bit.

 

[kuk]

BowDown:

1024x768 is a 4:3 resolution.
1280x1024 is a 5:4 resolution.
The correct one would be 1280x960.

 

[err]

I am asking this question mainly for text size on web page.

I am building my web on 800*600 size. I am planning to use 10pixel text size which is great on 1024*768 resolution on 17 inch monitor. But it might be too small for some people on 1280*1024 resolution.

This is why I would like to know how many people will be looking at the webpage at the text size that I want them to look at.

Well. Thanks for all the responses ! You guys are great !
