Whats your Screen Resolution at?

Post by EvilElf » Tue Jul 22, 2003 9:13 am

Was wondering what does everyone like to have their Screen Resolution at?

Right now mine is at 1280x1024

Tried it at 2048x1526 but that made everything WAAAYYY too tiny. :P

Home: 1024*768
Any higher, and everything is too blurry to read.

School:
800*600 or 1024*768. No idea which, and it varies between the TFT and CRT monitors.

What scares me? Mobile phones, bad driving, and brake lights.

Little Red Riding Hood said some icons were too big, and some were too small, but 1152 x 864 was just right.... so I use that.

1280x1024 at work.
Was running my system @ home at 2048, but had issues as Divx Movies had to be enlarged so much, so I dropped back to 1600x1200, and sometimes for lower Qual movies, 1280x1024

Work: 1280x1024 (won't go any higher)

Home: 1600x1200 (won't go any higher)

I don't care who's right, who's wrong, or what you meant to say. Only thing I care about is the Truth. If you have it, good, share it. If not, find it. If you want to argue, do it with someone else.

1600x1200

And this would have been cool as a poll. If you want to recreate it there, I can lock this one.
If I show up at your door, chances are you did something to bring me there.

I second the motion on the poll topic.

1024x768 (at work)... she won't go any higher, captain! It's all she can take!

1280x1024 (at home) <= sweet enough for most purposes

1600x1200 (at home) <= when I need to view 4+ windows at once
