Hey hey hey, guess what - another worthless poll!

But the results of this poll can be very useful to me in optimizing the site ... so you know what to do



Posted by: Canis Lupus

Mine is 1280 x 1024



Posted by: Outlaw

I love worthless polls
I use 1280x960.
1280x1024 is stretched.



Posted by: Canis Lupus

I like stretched



Posted by: Bobaroo

Mine is 1024 x 768 i use to use 800 x 600 then realized it is ugly.

I wanna use 1280 x 1024 but my vid card and monitar does not support that



Posted by: redwench

atm im on 800x600

when i get a bigger monitor, ill go up to a decent resolution.



Posted by: Chako

I use 1280 x 1024 also on the 17"

my next resolution supported (1600 x 1200) is ridiculous. Need a magnifier to see the text.

I used to use 1152 x 864 all the time. I used PCAnywhere a lot to connect to work on a 1024 x 768 system. I don't use PCAnywhere anymore. Netmeeting rules.

Lately, I been using 1024 x 768 to reduce monitor switching when I start games.



Posted by: SKYHN

I use 1024x768 because all the games I play are at that resolution. D2 is at 800x600 but I play it windowed. 1024 has so much more space anyways.



Posted by: mjames

I run 1152x768.



Posted by: -EG-raynor

i use the 1024x768



Posted by: Canis Lupus

I tried using 1600x1200 (and higher) resolution on my 21-incher, but it's a pain in the ass when designing pages, coz I can't get a reliable/accurate estimate on how it would appear on lower resolutions ...

1024 x 768 for me



Posted by: Swilo

1600x1200x16 and never a problem reading a thing.



Posted by: Outlaw

16 colors Swilo?

1280 x 1024 = desktop
1400 x 1050 = laptop

*adjusts bifocals*

1024x768 on a minimum of 17" monitor gets me text that I can read w/o the addition of a magnifying glass.

Well on my desktop I have a 19" Sony monitor so with the desktop cranked and clear type fonts turned on it looks great.

My laptop has a 15" screen and actually supporst resolutions much higher than that. Yeah the print is small, but it looks really good.

I started with both of them at 1024 x 768 but after going to a higher resolution that is what I'm used to.

I do play all of my games at 1024 x 768 though.



Posted by: Spider

1280x1024x32 for the longest time
but after I got the 19" earlier this year, I migrated to 1600x1200x32
can't use anything less now.

800x600 on a crappy 15in monitor with a crappy computer.

I tried going to 1024x768 but the colors on the monitor went weird for a couple hours

on my decent computer with a 17in monitor- I go with 1024x768

1280x1024x16
19" monitor, and sometimes I go to 1600x1200 but my dad complains that he can't read things. (he likes 800x600)

I cant use 800x600 makes me feel blind. I tried 1600 x 1200 but everything was stretched and distorted. I have higher settings, but crappy monitor holds me back..... oh well



Posted by: PhantomGamer

1024x768 for me too



Posted by: Daedleus

1600x1200x32bit at 72 Hertz refresh on a 19" monitor.



Posted by: MLXMariners

I use 1024X768 on my 17" monitor.



Posted by: †Pr|§M†

mines 1280 x 1024

the site looks pretty good in this res.



Posted by: SKYHN

Well since this thread has bumped back up...

Ive started using 1152x864. Its actually a good resolution for my monitor. 2 big reasons I switched: Bigger Screen(duh) and my refresh rate is higher too, which is a plus in my book. Vertical is the same(100hz) but Horizontal is 91.5khz, in 1024x768 my horizontal was 85.4khz.

1024 x 768

1024x768x32 on 19"

I don't have a lot of crap on my desktop, and a higher res hurts my eyeballs.



Posted by: Nfested

I use 1024 x 768 ever since I got XP.
