Re: What resolution are you using on your pc monit

I have used 1280X1024 for many years. Until recently it was on a good quality 21" CRT that could have done 1600X1200 but the text tended to be too small for my liking.

Now I have a 19" LCD with native mode of 1280X1024 so it really doesn't make sense to run it at any other.

Currently, I'm using 1,152x864 on a 19" Sony Trinitron CRT boob tube monitor.
I don't know what the refresh rate is - doesn't say. Probably 85Hz though.

1024 x 768 at 85 hz. But hopefully in a couple of days, I will be at 1920 x 1200 at 60 hz. I just purchased a Dell 2405 fpw 24" LCD widescreen and hope it will be here in a couple of days.

Same as Evan here; the laptop is a toshiba 5205 series s507 model (two years old already), one of the first one with these screens. In fact, this screen is the only reason I bought this model.

It's a laptop screen. Dell inspiron 8200. Dell has had 15" 1600x1200 screens available on their high end laptops since late 2000.

The text is quite sharp. I turn on ClearType in XP and it's simply beautiful.

1024x768 on a Viewsonic A75F.

Anything bigger makes stuff too small, smaller makes nothing fit without scrolling sideways.

All you showoffs with 19 and 21 CRTs and LCDs!

1280x1024 @ 85hz on a 19 in Sony Trinitron G400 tube. I could go to 1600x1200 but the icons and text would have to be messed with and the refresh rate would suffer.
