Screen resolutions
« on: January 13, 2005, 12:11:57 AM »
Just out of pure boredom and curiosity, what screen resolution are you using? Also, what colour depth and refresh rate?

 I'm currently at 1152x864, 32 bit, 78 hz, and using a 17" CRT monitor.

Even if you get a bigger monitor?

There are a number of reasons higher resolution is better, but beyond a certain point the main reason I'd say is not so much sharpness as it is the ability to get more out of the screen estate on bigger monitors.

What size and type of monitor do you have, Dumb Lem? And how old is it?

I wish I could vote twice, because I'm now on a laptop at 1280x800, 32bit, 60hz TFT.

1024x768. It shall go no higher. Well, it would if it could...
32 bit. And... it's old. I don't really remember anything about it. It would appear to be roughly 14 inches. The actual screen, that is.

Other than that? No idea, really... much as I may and do hate to admit it.

 Don't worry. I was using that monitor at that resolution when I voted, so it stays.

I haven't gotten another monitor in several years.
(i think 3 years)
even that one wasn't new, it was still old but on the other one you couldn't even see the stupid stuff on the screen when it was on max brightness. X_X

A long time ago, we used 800x600x32. Today, it's 1024x768x32.

My monitor is almost ancient and i don't know what size. i predict 12 inches by eleven inches. i'm probably a fair amount off though. I've gotten new monitors before and i always keep it on 800 by 600. I can't stand 100o something by1200 something because everything's too small and the other way, everything is gigantic.
