What resolution do you run your Monitor at?

What refresh rate do you guys use?

What is the best, and what are the benefits?

Wow, Ziroc, this is without doubt the coolest poll I've ever, EVER done! A big [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] to you [img]smile.gif[/img]

I have been using 1280x1024 for a while now.. my laptop is also at this resolution. I am using a 19 inch Monitor too.

I cannot imagine someone using the 2050x1950 or whatever.. You would need a dang 21 inch and STILL it would look small. ;)

Adobe Photoshop is nice at 1280x1024. You can have lots of boxes open and still have room to draw--I also go to 1600x1200 for some things..

Depends where I'm at. 1280 x 1024 at home, 1024 x 768 at work.

Higher resolutions than that tend to wear out these old eyes! ;)

I use 75Mhz or 85Mhz. Anything lower will strain your eyes, and anything higher could cause burn-in.

I use 800x600. Why would you change? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

I use 1024 on a 14" monitor at 60hz and I have no problems whatsoever. both refresh rate and resolution are limited by hardware, I would prefer to have a higher refresh and resolution (even at 14").

What's the size of your monitor, Attalus? I've found that 800 x 600 even on a 17" monitor is too grainy...tends to drive me nuts! I've got a 19" now and I run it at 1280 x 1024, although I do turn "large fonts" and "large icons" on. It's still quite a bit clearer, though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

1152 x 864 for me. I only have a 17 inch monitor, so anything smaller than that becomes plain silly.
