Thread: What's your screen resolution?

1366x768 aren't wierd numbers, they're pretty standard. old resolutions were 1024x768 so they just extended sideways for widescreen...

Pixel density is not a thing manufacturers should start focusing on ATM. I'd much rather they abandon TN and start producing more PVA, MVA, e-IPS, and H-IPS for the average consumer as well. TN is the worst thing the monitor industry has ever seen. The technologies I listed should be relatively cheap to produce.

I think pixel density would be great. Most smartphones have very high pixel densities, and by making monitors with high DPI, you'd eliminate the need for AA in games, graphics design would be much easier, and CRT monitors would be unnecessary. I know CRT is awesome, the colours are just so much better on there, but they are huge, heavy and often annoy my eyes.

1920x1080

I'm another 1920x1080
Using some sort of Dell monitor (S2309W- whatever that stands for lol).

I really like this monitor. It doesn't "flicker" like the old monitors used to. But some mornings, when I first jiggle the mouse to wake it up, sometimes there's a bunch of lines running vertically on the furthest most right hand side. I turn it off then back on and it's okay.
No other problems at all

Try turning off the monitor when you shut down the computer. Saves a bit of power too.

Just a bit. I think it costs 80 cents per month to run an LCD, and something like 2.10 dollars a CRT where I live.

High end CRTs don't flicker. Dithering on TN LCDs is much more annoying.


If that still had warranty, I'd get it checked out. A minor issue but I'd still try.

Should have made a poll :p

Stationary computer: 1680x1050
Laptop: 1440x900
Netbook: 1024x600
Parent's stationary: 1920x1080

I'm not quite sure what to make of this.

1024x768 on my laptop. The monitor that came with my desktop was a full 1920x1200, but ever since my dad changed the power settings that monitor won't display anything most of the time for some reason

640x480 is enough for anyone

Scratch my previous resolution upgrade plans.

It's now two GDM-F520 CRTs, both 2048x1536 @ 85hz, and one compaq P1220 CRT, which could also easily do the same, but it will be limited by the connection it uses from my graphics card (displayport -> minidisplayport -> VGA adapters), so it's a max of 1600x1200 @ 85hz :c . But rather a good CRT than a crappy 24" 1920x1200 LCD.

Right now it's 1280x1024. When I move back to my university, it'll be whatever iMac's usually have by default. I would LOOOVE a nice widescreen display or something like a huge tv monitor to hook my computer up to. Movie nights would be so awesome!

This laptop: 1280x800
my mini tower: 1024x768 (crappy monitor)

I'm using 1366x768

My desktop is 1680 x 1050, 22" and really great colors. The one con is, the viewing angle from below is really limited--from either side is great, from top is solid, but from below the slightest deviation from straight-on makes everything dark, which kind of sucks for watching movies in bed. I've wanted to get an articulated mounting arm for the longest time, but never made it a priority.

Sounds like a netbook, which I believe are the main devices using that resolution. My tablet has the same res, but in a 7" IPS display instead of 10.1" and the difference is night and day. I used to read e-books and comics on a netbook, and even being smaller, the tablet's sharper screen is so much more comfortable.

1920x1080

I have a LED screen that's got an amazing picture and uses something like 15-20 watts on full brightness. It was pretty cheap ($140) considering its 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio.

AND ITS PURPLE!!!

Twin 1920x1200 stacked for 1920x2400 total.

1920x1080 is my resolution at 21,5". Its an BenQ G2222HDL LED screen and it's damn bright as well as having absolutely awesome colors. Holy fuck the time I had an CRT is long ago and I never ever want one of these fatties anymore. I don't want an LCD screen either.
Most I'd prefer an CNT Nanobud screen if they were ever to come into functionality.

1920 x 1080P as well. Sony Bravia TV 56"

You certainly don't live up to your nick.

Approximately 3.7 mm^-1. Or 1920x1200 on a 24" to give a more expected type of answer. Calibrated S-IPS of course. All the too bright TN-panels with crappy colours annoys me.

^which model?

HP LP2475w.
