At work I have been using a computer that I really haven't thought that much about. When I looked at the resolution I realized it was 1280x1024. Still didn't think much about it.

At home while I code I am at 1024x768 on all my computers. Just standard me using a standard resolution. Then it hits me, duh, I could get much more screen real estate by using 1280x1024, the word wraps would be fewer, I could see more lines and I was already comfortable with that resolution because I use it at work.

Eureka!

So, for curiosity, what is your preferred resolution?

The main family PC is a 1024x768, but my personal PC (oh the irony) is a 1600x1200. There's not too many backgrounds out there for that size, but when I do find them they usually are d**ned good ones. But I'll put in the vote for the family PC, seeing as its an option there.




EDIT:
For instance:

Just look at it. It's beautiful.


EDIT2: Watch out if your computers a touch slow. This pic is huge.

1024x768 is perfect for me...I mean 800x600 shows too big characters and 1280x1024 shows it too small...I'll stick with it... :wink:

Well, sometimes the screen stays on an extended bender, and misses work on the 3rd, especially if it's been hanging out with the scanner again, that lush...

I use 800x600. Everything else is too small for me.

OH Glory. Just recieved my two brand spanking new Samsung SyncMaster 710 monitors. Oh, the glory of it all.

I have just reclaimed over a foot of deskspace and have these small framed beauties snuggled together into an almost seamless dual monitor system.

Oh Glory, me likey!

I've got a 1280x1024 setup on a 17" LCD screen. I like my setup, really, even if I wish I had the free funding to fully customize everything...

I've got 1024x768 on an ANCIENT moniter.  It has to be a whole decade old, and it was sitting alone in an attic for about 2 yrs.  It works though, and I can't ask for much more, except maybe for a moniter that isn't 3.5 ft long.

1024*768 on the laptop. With the 15" screen that is as high a resolution I want to go.

On the home pc, 1280*something. That one has a 21" screen (TFT)

For me resolution is still size based. I would not want a 21" to run 800*600, the icons would be too big. But on a 15" tube, I would not want to run 1024*768 either, because the icons would be way too silly small.

With kind regards,

Ylorea
