1024x768 @ 85 Hz
1024x768 @ 60 Hz on laptop with a messed up backlight (it sucks)
I attach the laptop with a 15" monitor running 800x600 @ 85 Hz.

I will (hopefully) buy a Samsung 900NF within a week or so. I'll run it 1600x1200 @ 89 Hz on Matrox G450. It'll be a beauty.

<< 1280x1024 @ 85 Hz on my 19" monitor. Visual Studio could do with more resolution as well. >>


No sh*t. :)

It sucks to code on anything lower than 1280x960. 1024x768 is the minimal resolution for a developer, imo.

I'm going to run a 1600x1200 @ 89 Hz on my primary monitor and 800x600 @ 85 Hz on my secondary. I will eventually replace the secondary with either a 15" XGA LCD or a 17"/19" LCD capable of at least 1280x1024 @ 85 Hz.

I just need that second monitor with MSDN open. Alt-tabbing is suck.

1280x960. 1280x1024 is the wrong ratio; it scrunches things. If my monitor could handle it at 75Hz, I'd do 1600x1200, but alas it only does 72Hz and I can see flicker at that rate.

<< mine is 1152 by 864...i >>




ditto. 17" monitor, in "large font" mode.

I'd move to a bigger monitor, but this one hasn't broken yet so I'll wait till it breaks.

Strangely though 1280x1024 is a standard resolution. Both my graphics card and monitor support it, but I have to specially enable 1280x960 using Radeon Tweaker to use it, and I can never get it to stay in that res on reboot, so I gave up and went for 1280x1024. The other 'wrong' one is 1800x1440, which should be either 1800x1350 or 1920x1440 for the correct aspect ratio.

1024x768x32 on my 19' Samsung 955df. I just can't tolerate any refresh rate lower than 100 :(
