What screen resolution do you use?

[Wozza]

...on your main PC?

I'm genuinely interested. Working on a web project and need to know what is typical these days.

If you don't know/are a non-techie, right click on your Windows DESKTOP, select properties, then Settings. The slider bar should tell you.

Thanks in advance.

PS And, just to clear things up, I'm talking day-to-day use, not special cases (ie games).

1024 x 768 and 800 x 600 are the most compatible.

Plasma screens are flying off the shelves to replace toe old convectional monitor.....

1440 * 900 on my Apple PowerBook.

Some of us use real computers.

1440 * 900 on my 17"widescreen Toshiba laptop (also a real computer).

Yes some of us do. You don't. Shiny metal slab with an illuminated fruit on it does not a computer make.

You sure?

Most 19inch TFTs are 1280x1024 or 1440x900 if widescreen.

Try changing your windows resolution to match for best results...

1280x1024

we have a customer who insists in running 800x600 for all his staff - because he is too vain to admit he is blind as a bat.

Good point, well made.

 

[Sorrel]

1280x1024 as that's the native resolution of my work screen.

My attempts to explain native resolution to other people I work with have all failed, and they set their screens to other resolutions: and struggle to read the horrible blurry text.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

1024x768 - a complete waste of a 19" TFT. But higher doesn't seem right somehow.

As high as I can get away with for games!
