What monitor resolution do you use?
While making the recent changes to the website I wondered what monitor resolution most people use on the Shop Forum.
  • 640x480 is unacceptable
  • 800x600 is the bare minimum
  • 1024x768 or 1280x1024 are best

Really? I used to run Mandrake on my laptop, but for the moment I'm using XP... at least until my new Macbook shows up

1280x1024 17" LCD. Wouldn;t have it any other way..

I remember 1024x768 on a 19" monitor was like wow this looks great and the resolution is so high.

Now 1024x768 is average...

I run the true 4:3 aspect ratio of 1360 x 1024. For 1280 width the hieght should only be 960.

1152 x 864 on a 20' monitor with 24 bit color. Plus a second monitor (17") to the left running 1024 x 768 with 32 bit color. Thinking about another 17" monitor on the right side. I have a lot of stuff running all at once.
