Not so great lurker

I use 1024x768 because usually running anything higher starts making the text and icons on the desktop look too small (using the default windows fonts and not changing it to the large fonts/icons).
I would prob use a higher resolution if I needed the dektop real estate, but for surfing and playing full screen games 1024x768 seems to be the best resolution for me. Then again some people are limited by the size of thier monitors.... i wouldn't want to see a peson on a 15" monitor trying to run 1600x1200... |

running 1280x1024 on a Sony 21"er for the main audio workstation.
would like to go higher but it looks "funny" when I do that, not sure if it is my somewhat aging poorly ATI AIW 7500 or the monitor. my secondary 17" monitor sharing the Debian and Win2k box runs at 1280x1024 as well usually. |

1600x1200 all the way!
It's the max resolution for my monitor and it does it at a nice 85Hz.... It doesn't let me go any further, but I don't know if I would... I like it very much like this!

2304x864. Have that Nvidia DualView thing. Two monitors that w2k thinks are one.
Any higher res and text becomes an unholy bitch to read, so I don't really see the point. I have seen some people who jack the hell out of their screen res, and then they can't see shit on it cos everything is so small. |
