*POLL* screen res & vision

1600x1200 on a 15 inch display (133 ppi), yes I wear glasses but I wore them long before I used this resolution.

Mostly 1024x768 on my 19". A lot of web pages are made for lower resolutions and use only 1/2 or 1/3 of the screen in higher resolutions. The CPU forces me not to go above 1024x768 in newer games.
My vision is very good. I don't wear glasses/lens.
 
1152x864 is pretty damn low. Even if I'm looking at a 17" screen without my glasses.

Using 2048x1536 on a Viewsonic P90f right now. And even that is easily readable without the glasses up to about 20" away. After that without the glasses it gets blurry.

Looks like vision correction hardly matters.

Man was I ever wrong. I looked at the whole correlation not as ability, but preventability.

I don't wear glasses/contacts and I purposely keep my resolution lower at 1024x768 so I don't hurt my eyes for the future. I was figuring that many people who did wear glasses have become that way because they've done exactly that ... hurt their eyes from small displays / high res... maybe I'm right to a certain extent about that from the looks of the results.

And one of you was right... I should've taken monitor size into account. I use a 21" monitor and 1280x1028 was still too tiny for me. I just did a project for 1.5 hours on it and I couldn't stand to keep it any longer though I could see text just fine... I switched back to 1024x768.
 
I run 1152x864 at home on my 17" since its kinda far away from me. At work its 1280x1024 on the 18" LCD. I have 20/15 vision last I checked.

What's your refresh rate at that high res? I've got the G90f and I know the P90f is a step up, but damn, that's a high resolution. I don't like going under 85 hz and the best my monitor will do is 1280 x 960. At 1600 x 1200 I'm at 75 hz which is too low of a refresh rate for me.

 
1920x1200 on 23" lcd I wear glass's.

But that isn't it I think. I had a 14" at 640x480 BEFORE my eyesight got bad. Since the comoputer i think my eye sight has gone down hill. But I also think it is hereditory as my mum and my other brother both wear glass's. He certainly doesn't spend much time on the computer before he had to wear them. My mum doesn't spend any time in front of the tv.

Polls/inquiries regarding Monitor resolution will nearly always show higher resolutions topping the results.

I run Dual 1280 x 1024 on my 19" LCD's and 1024 x 768 on my 17" CRT's.
 
My eyesight got bad from watching tv as a kid. My prescription has barely changed in 5 years 🙂 (I'm 20 right now)
 
1600x1200 on both my 21" and 19".

The only reason I run 1600x1200 on my 21" at work is because I can't stretch to my 19" unless I use the same res on both monitors (stupid ATI dual-head software). Matrox Dual-head rules!

At 2048x1536 it's just barely over 70Hz. Which is ok most of the time but sometimes either seems to magnify the effect of annoying florescent lights in the office or flickers from interference if my desk fan is too close.

1920x1440 produces a much more flicker-free image at 75Hz. To get 85Hz you need to drop to 1920x1280 (or 1706x1280 for 4:3 aspect ratio).

BTW my prescription hasn't changed in almost 20 years and macular degeneration runs in the family.
