What screen resolution do you use?

The General · October 12th, 2005

Just curious whats everyone using these days.

I use to use 800x600 16bit when i was using my intel extreme card, but since i got my ati radeon 700064mb, i keep it on 1024x768 32bit colors. Any higher and my brain hurts.

psicomaniaco · October 12th, 2005

800x600 at 85 Hz.

My video card actually supports WAY higher resolutions. The problem is that my monitor is sooooooo ancient that I can't use anything higher than 800x600 with 85 Hz... I can use 1024x768 with 60 Hz... But 60 Hz hurt my eyes!

Clements · October 12th, 2005

1152x864 general use, 1280x1024 gaming.

Edit: Been using 32-bit colours since 1999.

ChankastRules · October 12th, 2005

1280x1024 general use, 1024x768 for gaming.

**Chrono Archangel** · October 12th, 2005

1152x864 for desktop use. if games let me set it to that resolution then its what i use, else its 1024x768 or 1280x1024

D.D. · October 12th, 2005

all at 1280x1024 at 32 bit colours <-- may be wrong but its a standard one.

O__o ppl with lcds dont really have a choice T__T

DB7 · October 12th, 2005

1024x768 at 32 bit colour and 75 hertz refresh rate, I find that combination works well for me in everything.

I'm using 800x600 @32bit for exactly the same reasons. And yes, video cards, even my ancient one, allow up to much higher resolutions. Even mine supports resolutions higher than 1600x1200.

galson · October 12th, 2005

1024x768x32 @ 85Hz. As high as my monitor allows

jepp, just like me.

**General Plot** · October 12th, 2005

Heh, my LCD's native resolution is 1024x768, but can't set refresh any higher than 72 Hz, so that's what I have it set at.

**MiretanK** · October 12th, 2005

1152x864 72Hz 17 inch ...hmm.. geforce 4 mx 4000 >crap<

Grv · October 12th, 2005

1280x1024 (@60Hz) everywhere. Except for emulation, where I use 1280x960.
