Resolutions?

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.

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.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
