What resolution do you use?

[MizzouRah]

Considering the days of 640x480 are long gone, 800x600 rarely used, and 1024x768 is starting to become less used, what resolution do you use?

I know alot has to do with monitor size, but I've been using 1280x720 at work due to the fact I have a 21" monitor there. At home I use 1024x768, but I've been thinking about bumping it up.

1024x768 with a 19' monitor.

1600x1200 (19inch monitor) - desktop
1440x900 (17inch widescreen monitor) - laptop

Wow, that's a high res.

1280x1024 is the native setting for the Viewsonic A90f+ that I use so I go with that.

I cant stand low resolutions. I will generally put it on whatever the highest resolution my current monitor will support with good refresh rates. If I have trouble reading text, I just increase the text size. Higher resolution text is easier to read anyway (if made the same size by bumping up the font size).

I agree with you, that's why I think I'm bumping mine up here at home.

With LCDs, you are pretty much stuck with the native resolution.

9x4, 1" monitor

smaller is better

1024 x 768 on a 19" CRT. Anything bigger and the stuff is too small...and I'm too lazy to tweak the font sizes.

at work, I'm on a 17" and run at 800x600

Is that the myth you keep telling them ladies?

1600x1200 on my left monitor and 1024x768 on the right one.

Seriously, if you have a spare monitor and dual output from gfx card - do it, everything becomes more conveneint...

I am looking to change to a 17" TFT as soon as I can find one with a decent response time for a decent price.

One of my machines at my previous employer was running 1280x1024, but the only reason for that was because I needed the extra room for Director.

I traditionally despise higher resolutions than 1024. Don't want to need a damn magnifying glass to read text.

Did anyone else thought this was going to be about New Year's resolutions? ;)

Bump the font size up

[Coffee Warlord]

I can't see the draw of having to use like a 15pt font just to have a higher res. :)

[Karim]

I had been using 1024 x 768 for several years. I'm now at 1280 x 1024, the highest my monitor can output.

OK

The benefit is extra screen space, though.

I am sticking to my resolution to not smoke. I've gone over 6 months now.
