hypothecially speaking... say you have a 17" monitor- what resoltion would run at?

800 x 600
1024 x 768
1152 x 864
1280 x 960

I have a 17" monitor and I use 1280x1024, even though it's not technically the correct aspect ratio.

 

[UberNeuman]

Run it as high as you can and looks good to your eyes...

It's just one of the settings that my video card and monitor can run. On that little slider, it's the one right after 1280x960, which is the correct ratio.

have a 20" and I run at 1280 x 960, so on a 17" I'd probably run at 1152 x 864

 

[poopaskoopa]

I run 1280x960.

you can read the stuff at that resolution? I just tested that and it was to much for my eyes to handle

On a 17?

Yup. The hardwares are nothing spectacular by today's standard. GF2 Ultra video card and 17-inch Sony Multiscan 200GS. 85hz.

its not the hardware that i would wonder about-- its your eyes-- that has got to be some small writing on your screen.

 

[poopaskoopa]

I just tested 1024x768. Good grief everything seems magnified.

most of my clients are older, I set em up to use large icons,large fonts

 

[FoBoT]

for me, i use

15" monitor 800x600

17" monitor 1024x768

19" monitor 1280x1024

 

[yakko]

On the main machine 1280x960 and on the other two 1024x768.

 

[Spikesoldier]

1280x1024 on a 17" LCD.

 

[etalns]

I do 1280 x 1040, I cant stand anything lower.

 

[Gooberlx2]

1280x1024 on my 19" trinitron and 1400x1050 on my 14" laptop

but on a 17" monitor--- that just seems like it would be way to hard on the eyes..

and spikesoldior-- 17" on an LCD is a lot different than a 17"crt
