What screen resoloution do you use?

[GingerSynapse]

I use 800 X 600 even on my 19 inch monitor because I have very poor vision and can't read small print.

1600x1200x32bit color on 19" flat trinitron for almost anything.

 

[Vortex22]

1152x864

I don't like the squished image you get when running 1280x1024.

1280, on 17" dell lcd

Hmm... trying 800x600. Very interesting, everything is huge... I could get used to this.

1280x1024 @ 85Hz on a 17" monitor.

 

[Electrode]

Living room workstation: 1280x1024x24@72
Bedroom workstation: 800x600x24@75
Server: 80x25x4@unknown (text)

All of these monitors are capable of higher resolutions, but only at 60 Hz. I prefer not to stare at a fvcking strobe light all day.

1024x768x32 on my laptop (native resolution of the 14.1" screen)
1600x1200x32@85Hz on my desktop (21" Trinitron)
1280x1024 at work (cheap 17" monitor)

 

[RossMAN]

1280x1024@85 on a 19" Dell P991 (FD Trinitron) CRT.

One of the best 19" CRTs ever made IMHO.

I like 1024, but it's just too damn small for me (I have a 17" monitor", and sit back when I type.) and I really rather strain my eyes, and then need glasses.. Yet, 800 is sooo big. I wish they has one in-between.

Now, for gaming and what not, I def prefer 1028, but for daily browsing, and IRC I need 800.

If you use powerstrip you can set your monitor to any resolution you want. When I was running a 21" diamondtron iiyama I had it set to 1440x1080@81hz. Only way to do it though is through powerstrip. You can easily set your monitor to something between 800x600 and 1024x768. I'd reccomend if you can to keep it to a 4:3 aspect ratio. When I ran my 21" monitor at 1280x1024 images looked a little wierd, they looked great at 1440x1080 though.
Now I have a 19" LCD. It's nice but it's max res is 1280x1024. Kinda miss that little extra resolution the 21" iiyama was capable of.

Hey, leave him alone... Im sure that extra row of pixels would come in handy...

1280x1024x32@75Hz ... 19" CRT

1280x960. I don't know why everyone uses 1280x1024, wtf is the point? It's unproportional. Use 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x964, 1600x1200, 1920x1440... Proportional resolutions.

That said, I use 1280x960x32 with a 15" Optiquest V55 monitor and 32MB TNT2 video card. Right now I'm running WinXP Pro and I use ClearType font smoothing, very nice! I also sit back when I type/read. I don't see what the problem is with 1024 on a 17" monitor... 800 seems too big on my 15", so how could you possibly use that on a 17" or bigger? Yuck!
