Thread: What Screen Resolution Do You Guys Use?

So what do you people use? Anybody still using below 1024x768?[/b]

I think the only people still using below 1024x768 either don't know how to change resolution, or just don't use a computer enough to care, or never tried a bigger resolution. Once you go big, you never go back!

1680x1050! Whoot!

I really want one of those 23" or 25" widescreens to go to a bigger resolution... but alas, would you believe those monitors actually cost money?

I use the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. That mother is at 2560 x 1600 resolution

Hmm... no. Mine is a 20.1" widescreen, the ratio is 16:10, and the resolution is 1680x1050. Its not a stretched 15".

EDIT: Oh, you mean in actual physical size? Nah, its shorter than a 19" but its definitely taller than a 15". And its obviously wider than both... plus, It looks nice...

Damn, i am so jealous. Don't those things cost like $1000 though? If I had the money and a computer that could actually run one (mine's not that bad, but I think that though the 30inch would work, it would stretch the limits of my graphics card). I personally have 1280x1024 set on my 17in LCD screen, and it looks great, but since the laptop I am using has only a 14in screen that can't support more than 1024x768, that is what I use on it.

I had not worried myself over it too much until I read this.
Now I am in there changing colors, fonts and sizes.

It will all be for the better if I can make up my mind.

Mine's at 1400 x 1050

1280x1024

Sometimes x2, for dual monitors

When I win the lottery though, I'm going to get myself one of those nice Dell 30" displays. It has the same LCD panel as the Apple 30", only it's cheaper and has a better stand and inputs.

You know you need a life if you're talking about screen resolution.

You know you need a life if you have nothing better to do than scorn people talking about screen resolutions.

I don't know what I have on my own PC, but at where I am now I have got 1024x768, and it annoys the shit out of me. I think I have 1280x1024. A 19" screen helps.

<3 big resolutions.

1400x1050, 32 bit. That&#39;s as high as this one goes... it would be higher if I could make it happen. That&#39;s not too shabby for a 17" laptop though&#33;

1280x1024 up in here. Best my card will do. On a 21" crt monitor it&#39;s pretty OK.

1920 x 1200. I&#39;ve been issued a sweet laptop from work.

1600x1200 on an old flat 17" CRT, and 1024x768 on the server. (I think, usually just remotes into it.) LCD/TFT is still not good enough for the price.

1024x768 and my screen is 17".

As you can see, you are in the minority here.

That must be one HECK of a laptop&#33; If you don&#39;t mind me being nosy, what is it?

My new work lappy is an HP nx6325. I&#39;m really pleased with this - it has the best resolution of any laptop I&#39;ve ever had. That and the 2 gig dual Turion thing, with the "wow" factor of the fingerprint login, and it&#39;s pretty kewl.

Well - shouldn&#39;t really be threadjacking here, as this is a specific peeve of several as mentioned in the forum irritations thread, but oh well.

Y&#39;know, if you can&#39;t stand nerdiness.... why the hell are you in tech talk?

Shoo. Nobody lieks you.

1280x1024

Simple as that. Although, when I build a DX10 PC (maybe this year)... it&#39;ll be bigger. Oh yeah, it&#39;ll be bigger 8)

Lol, ironic.
Maybe if you learned to take a joke more people would like YOU.

Since I&#39;m posting here anyway, my resolution&#39;s 1024 by 768
