Desktop Resolutions!

8x10
I love my paper monitor.
(I really am at 1280x1024) :E

1280x1024 is native for TFTs (17" - 19") but CRTs should always be 4:3 (1024x768 / 1152x864 / 1280x960 / 1600x1200)

I think the fact most people have TFTs now is why 1280x1024 is so popular.

TFT's for gaming? SINNER! Unless you're willing to shell out a huge wad of cash, TFT's suck for gaming, period.

1280x1024 works great for my CRT. I thought 1280x960 looked too stretched out vertically. If my res is wrong then I missed the memo. My old warhorse res was 1152x864 though. I didn't know anyone who used that one.

1024x768
This is my laptops only resolution, so yeah, there ya have it. My parents like 800 x 600, Im just glad I dont live at home anymroe. I use 1280x1024 when I have my crt hooked up to my laptop. And it doesnt looked distorted.

Whoa, I think this is getting a little personal! You'll have to PM me for that sort of stuff.

 

[Murray]

Ok, now I'm upset.
The option 1280x960 is one of the most common of resolutions and it isn't even on the poll?

 

[Danimal]

It was a joke...

I am really at 1280 x 1024

I have a 17" CRT and a 19" TFT..and I like my TFT more now for gaming. I haven't played much HL2/CS Source since I got it because I've been playing WoW, which looks GREAT.

I've played CS 1.6 though, and sure it's a little dark, and takes a bit to get used to, but once you do, it's fine.

And by huge wad of cash, you mean how much? This one is worth about $600 I think.

1280x1024 g!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Asus]

1280x960 for games although I use 3200x1200 for my desktop.

 

[baron insig]

some mod edit the poll 1260 960 then ....

 

[ShinRa]

1280x1024 is the only way to go. Absolutely the best resolution for the desktop, it makes it look really good and stylish, all while not being too small.

 

[Druckles]

1280x1024 on my 19" TFT . 1280x960 just makes it too vertical, all stretched. It's the same on the CRT. Just because you have a 1280x960, doesn't make it common

 

[MurderScene]

i remember teh days when 800x600 was the most "common".
good times good times.

2 Years ago, or maybe 1 i could have agreed with you there. But today in fact, I have made my transition from a 19" Flat CRT to a 20.1" Widescreen LCD - and its incredible. Price was good aswell, considering value for money.

As well as DVI for sharper quality blah blah, the gaming quality is extremely fluid and smooth. I have played UT2004, HL2, CSS (heavily hehe) and im NEVER EVER going to use that CRT again.

My screens a Dell 2005FPW... uses the same LG panel used in the Apple Cinema displays - tell me one review where it is apparently bad for gaming, you wont find many. However i know about the huge backlight leakage issue

BTW mines at 1650x1050 as i sed before, WIDESCREEN MWAHAHA ;D

1024 x 768 however my refresh rate is 60hz and it hurts my eyes . So im test0ring it on 800*600 for now. This screen really sucks 85hz is still not enough
