1024 x 768 which is native since I have a ViewSonic VG151 flat panel. I really wanted to grab my DVI cable while I was home this weekend but forgot. I just got my DVI out enabled Ti-4200 a couple of weeks ago and wanted to hook up my monitor all digital. I guess I will have to wait till I find a cable or till I can get home again.

[EmTSea19]

The recommended resolution for my NEC Multisync 17" LCD Monitor is 1280 x 1024. However, it is so tiny, I can barely read it in that mode. So, I have it on 800x 600. Then Microsoft pops up something that says resize, and it resizes. I lose a 1/4 inch off the right side, which turns to black.
I think the problem is I can't get my Monitor to work nice with my 9500 Pro. I have to install ATI Drivers, because if I don't, I can't scroll easily down a page, etc...As soon as I install the drivers, my screen goes screwy, Microsoft resizes, etc...
I wish I could go recommended, *lol*.
Anyone know the solution, PM me!

For right now, stuck in 800 x 600..

1280 x 1024 on a KDS 19" , kinda takes a bit of getting used to but when you do you'll realise just how much more real estate you have on your screen compared to 1024x768, 1600x1200 is just too small for a 19" IMO.

It's a shame the question didn't ask for the resolution and video card. I say that because over 2/3rds of the voters are running between 1024x768 and 1280x1024, while according to other posts most of the users here seem to be running GF3 or newer cards.

So i use to be at 1024x768 all the time but since i seen this topic, i decided to experiment. The one i found ideal for me is 1280x768

Thats on a mag 15inch monitor. This thursday i will have another mag, but it's a 17inch crt flat monitor with a .25 dot pitch.
cant wait to see what that screen resolution goes to comfortably.

I wish those 17-19 inchers would be 4:3 and run at 1600x1200 or 1400x1050 instead of 1280x1024, though at least their pixels are square unlike running 1280x1024 on most CRT's

question:
If you ran 800x600 on a 15" monitor, and then on a say 20" monitor, then took a measuring tape and measured the size of say the start button, would it physicaly be 4/3 greater on the 20" or would it be the exact same size? Does the same hold true for text?

Don't know why they don't... maybe they don't use a 4:3 monitor?
I'm using 1280X960 works great. Of course it could be that a majority are using a 17" monitor?

I get a funny flicker on the bottom right of my screen though when I jack up the hz to even 75 and I kind of wonder if the monitor just doesn't like the resolution for some reason.

I run 1024x768 because I sit sort of far from my monitor and it's hard to read (especially without my glasses).

I use the same resoloution. My pictures look funny if I use 1280x1024. Why don't people use 1280x960 as much? After all, it is a 4:3 ratio.

That's different, because I thought resolutions like 1280x960 or 1028x768 make things look stretched.

I have an old belinea monitor, and always run windows at 1600x1200 and have done for years - wouldn't have it any other way!
I'm thinking of getting a new TFT monitor, but the lower resolutions are putting me off to be honest.

[burningrave101]

I use 1280x1024 on my new Hyundai L90D+ LCD and 1600x1200 on my Mitsubishi DP930SB CRT.

Because the LCD has a larger display screen then the CRT there isn't a HUGE difference between 1280x1024 on an LCD and 1600x1200 on a CRT.

I bet we will see an increase in the amount of 1280x1024 as more people get 17 and 19 in LCDs

[TollhouseFrank]

1024x768 on all 6 monitors in my house.

can't go any higher. I can't read letters onscreen at a higher pixel count... :D DARN MY WEAK EYES AND HIGH PRESCRIPTION ON GLASSES

Higher resolutions for graphics artists and such.. i can see.... but much higher than 1024x768, and i don't see what good it does ya in games (i mean, High Resolution on the average TV is around 800x600. Only the new and very expensive LCD/Plasma/HDTV stuff can get higher)

This is for normal everyday use, and gaming (except for matches). If I'm playing a match, I'll drop to 1280 X 1024 or 1024 X 768 in game resolution. Desktop on main and secondary are always at 1600 X 1200. I'm 6' away from the file server's monitor, so the refresh rate doesn't bother me, otherwise it'd be at 1024 X 768.

I like 1600x1200. Icons were too small for me at first but you can change the size of your Icons and Fonts to make them larger.

Display Properties/Settings/Advanced change DPI setting to custom and something in the 150% range.

If things are too small to see, @1600x1200, I found this fixes it.

1280x1024 for the win. Although I have a 20 inch sony silicon graphics monitor, I can't use 1600x1200 because it twitches like a mofo. Donno whats wrong with my monitor but it still works for the most part ;p

[MoreGooder]

I have an old HItachi Superscan Elite 751, running an unusual resolution: 1400 X 1050 at 85 Hz. You see, that's a 4:3 aspect ratio, which results in more natural images since it more closely matches the dimensions of the viewable area of my CRT screen.

If you run powerstrip and you have a 19 inch CRT, try enabling this resolution. I just bet you'll be a convert from then on.

Man o man I wish that someone would make a 8ms TFT panel with 1400 X 1050 as
the native resolution. It would be killer!

[offramp]

1280x1024, though it's not like I have a choice. It works great and looks good. 5:4, 4:3, bah, whatever...
