Title: Resolutions?
Post by: amooset on July 21, 2005, 08:09:11 PM
Just wondering what resolution and monitor size everyone is running.  I just picked up a 19" monitor and I'm running at 1200x1600.  I can see the whole board in one screen, it's crazy!

*edit*
I guess this belongs down in the geek thread, :sorry:

HP Pavilion f70 (17" flat panel) at 1280x1024, which I believe is the "native" resolution.

POSERS  I've got a Sony Trinitron 21" Flat CRT.  Max Resolution is 2048x1536.  At that I can have four full width web browsers open.  But every thing is so tiny.

Guess I'm still back in the 20th century... 17" Sony(curb pickup) running 800 x 600. 

I don't think this old AMD system(intergrated graphics) I threw together back in '00 will do any better than 1024 x 768.

Work: 1600 X 1200 on a 17" Samtron
Home: 1600 X 1200 (i think) on a 15" Sony.

Used to have duals at home but the 17 incher got busted durning the move. Very upsetting.

You need to make the rounds on trash day(Go out to the digs as my buddy says).... I've picked up six 17" monitors off the curb in the last year(I pass up anything smaller). One was dead, one jitters slightly, the switch sticks on one, and the other three were fine.

Also you can find them at yard sales for $10-$20. I passed up a nice Dell(Sony Triniton) for $5 the other day..

17" CRT running 1152x864.

1280x1024 is just too small and hurts my eyes.

In a effort to be part of the 21st century, I've moved up to 1024x768. I did have to bump the text size up to the largest setting, so maybe I'm cheating a little.

But no matter what, I ain't giving up my 1989 Laser keyboard(from a long gone 286)...
