what screen resolution do you use? (poll)

[littleprince]

A poll on a computer hardware enthusist forum is hardly representitive of the general population. Just design your webpages for 800x600 resolution!

1280 x 1024 @ 85 Hz as recommended for NEC MultiSync FP950

My HS used 640x480 on their computers because the librarians ran the labs and they didn't know how to work a computer. I was trying to do a report but it is so damn hard when you can fit only a paragraph at a a time on the screen. They weren't tiny ass monitors either, relatively new. What a waste. I asked if I could change mine but they said if I change any of the settings I would get a 3 day suspension and wouldn't be allowed back in the computer lab for the rest of the year.

First of all, 1280x960 is a true resolution. Multiply 640x468 times two and you get 1280x960. It's a valid resolution. 1280x1024 is not properly proportioned and skews the image.

nik (uses 1280x960 on his 17" and 1600x1200 on his 19")

Website stats across many sites I'm affiliated with/use reveal that users mostly use 1024x768.

1152 x 864 here as well. On a 17" monitor it seems to be the pefect balance between desktop area and default text size.

As noted above, 1280x960 is the CORRECT resolution, as it keeps the 4:3 aspect ratio. Think about it, what is 640 * 2? 1280. Now what is 480 * 2? 960. 1280x1024 has 64 more pixels in the vertical resolution than it is supposed to.
