Whats your Resolution? - Page 2

Jazhara7 · 04-15-2006, 11:49 AM

1024*768

Yeah, it's a bit boring.

The most exciting place I ever changed my screen resolution (or actually that of my father's notebook)? Why, that has to be the Sofitel Hotel Shanghai in our room on floor 35 (I believe it was floor 35)! Or maybe the lobby. Or maybe in the Timekeeper's tower/room of the Hockenheim racing track, or the Nürburg Ring (also a racing track in Germany), while doing my duty of supervising the print-outs to the Timekeepers.

So maybe my resolution is boring, but I believe I got a right to claim I've changed it in the most exciting places!

I don't know, which other one?

It's the highest resolution I can have. I usually switch between 800*600 and 1024*768 on the notebooks of my father (because I sometimes play older games on the older ones).

Oh, I also forgot to mention that I can switch my resolution to 768*1024 on this monitor! It's awesome (and useful if you work with very high pictures in the GIMP/Photoshop)!

Yeah, I wish I could have a much higher rez, because its extremely helpful when I use photoshop.

The size of my monitor makes 1440x900 approximate to using 1024x768 on a 17" monitor. OK, it's a little sharper than that, but it feels like I'm using an equivalent resolution

I guess the only difference is when you play the latest game, not reading websites.

Panthera · 04-15-2006, 04:07 PM

1024X768 for me too. I've got a 19" CRT and for me anything higher is just way to small!

I'm already on my way to it - happiness, inner peace, and eventually, true love.

Nah. View some forums in widescreen and you'll never go back to the old ratio.

Same here, I don't mind the small stuff, but my father uses my PC sometimes and I don't want him moving around the screen properties.

1024 X 768 on a 21" CRT.

jjacob · 04-16-2006, 02:17 PM

1600x1200@85Hz on a 22" Iiyama CRT, everything is nice and small but still easily readable from a distance (not like on higher resolutions), plus you have loads of space.

*Jake* · 04-16-2006, 03:05 PM

1920x1200 on a 23ish" widescreen trinotron CRT

SakSquash · 04-16-2006, 04:16 PM

1024*768 on my 17inch LCD. I tried the one everyone here is talking about using...and I kinda liked it...but it was just too small.

Dangerzone · 04-16-2006, 11:04 PM

i have 3 computers.............and all 3 are set diffrently

my laptop i use for work is set at 1024 x 768

my gaming computer in my basement is set at 1280 x 720 (widescreen rules)

Tobbe · 04-16-2006, 11:06 PM

Your using a non-native LCD resolution? Thats fine for games, but for windows doesn't the blurry picture bug you?
