May 24, 200520 yr 1280x1024 I'm so damned proud of myself I've been considering bumping up to 1600x1200 for desktop stuff only games are at 1024x768 (or, like CS 1.6 and GW...1280x1024)
May 25, 200520 yr Where is the 640/480 option? I like that resolution very much. 320/240 is also nice for most of my games.
May 25, 200520 yr 1600 x 1200 I'm 16 and gotta have my nice tiny text that no one else can read :o Plus I like having a lot of real estate on my desktop.
May 25, 200520 yr I have 1280 x 1024 when work under windows and 1280 x 960 in any games... But sometime in 1024 x 768 when glithes begin with some games... Egidio.
May 25, 200520 yr 1024x768 for desktop (it's the best I can get with this old IBM monitor) and 800x600 for games.
May 25, 200520 yr 17" mon, refresh rate 70 , 1024 desktop & browser ... 800 res BFV ... 640 res FA, for bigger targets :o
May 25, 200520 yr 1024x768 for windows/linux is enough. 1024x768 for fullscreen games 800x600/1024x768 for windowed games. (Good for talking on msn... surfing the net... or playing 2 or 3 games simotaniously... [yes... I have done this]).
May 25, 200520 yr ok i dont get how you people can see with 1600x1200 i run 1024x768 for desktop and 800x600 for FA and 1024x768 for CSS. :o ! go uniqueness!
May 26, 200520 yr 1024x768 monitor wont go any higher than that, if I try to it simply shuts off for a few seconds. Old Optiquest Q71 monitor.
May 26, 200520 yr The reason people use 1600x1200 is when they have a 19" or 21" moniter. I don't know how many 17" even support over 1280x1024.
May 26, 200520 yr 1024x768 monitor wont go any higher than that, if I try to it simply shuts off for a few seconds. Old Optiquest Q71 monitor. Know your monitor specs. Sending it too high a res and/or refresh rate could burn it out.
May 26, 200520 yr 1600x1200 for my desktop, and usually 800x600 or 1024x768 for games. widescreen laptop baby.
May 27, 200520 yr I've got mine locked at 800x600 100 refresh rate use that res for everything I usually have my desktop at 1024x768
