What resolution are you using?

[fisherbim]

1024x768 in a 19" monitor works best for me. higher resolution makes me want to stick my face on the screen.

1152 X 864

19" old style LCD screen (Dell)

Since my answer wasn't on the poll I didn't bother.

I'm running 1024x768 with dual monitors. I'm waiting to find a third at the thrift store, because I still have one VGA port un-used

Voted >= 1920...

Running a dual-head 22" LCD setup, each at 1680x1050 (not sure if that counts as >= 1920, but that's what I put!)...

I'm using 800 x 600 @ 32bit color on a Sceptre 4:3 LCD panel. Having had cataract surgery on both eyes it's a good compromise between fitting things on the screen and being able to read it.

1024 X 768. Works for me.

I may be wrong on this note but isn't it true of flat panel monitors (the non CRT flavors) that they are designed and built to run at a specific resolution?

Currently my everyday system happens to have a 23" HP S2331 monitor. I have that resolution set at 1920 X 1080 because that is the native resolution for this particular monitor. My workstation system uses a pair of Samsung 915n 19" monitors and those are set for 1280 X 1024 resolution. The wife has a 21" Samsung 223BW and her native resolution is set for 1680 X 1050.

Resolution settings are much more forgiving on the older CRT type monitors than the newer flat panels. I have noticed that if I set a flat panel for a resolution other than the native resolution they look lousy as in fuzzy with poor definition. Which brings us back to setting the resolution of a flat panel monitor isn't as much a matter of personal preference as much as I think it is a matter of native resolution for a specific monitor.

That would be my take anyway...

That's my take too Ron. My lappie looks best @ 1024 X 768. Any other setting gives really bad resolution.

I'm using 1024X768 for a 19" SONY CRT G420 monitor ..
works great at the last 9 years ..

And my eyes love it too .

I run 1280 x 800 on my everyday laptop
The workshop machine runs two 19" 1280x1024 monitors in an extended desktop configuration (2560 x 1024)
The kiddies machine runs on a Dell 22" widescreen at something like 1600x1050
My media center runs on my 42" LCD at a native resolution of 1920x1080 (1080p)

I'm using dual 23 inch monitors at 1920 x 1080 on my desk. Fantastic amount of workspace for spreadsheeting, having multiple data sheets open beside a schematic editor, etc. It is getting a bit challenging for my eyesight though.

 

[albert_xi]

I use 1024x768 resolution with freq at 85Hz

 

[canadaelk]

1920x1080, 60Hz on a 23" Samsung. Total decadent luxury! Nice present to myself. E

eric: in your post #7 you stated that you connect 2 computers via USB. I tried that but no comms between the 2, what is the trick to get them talking? Thanks, E

I would guess if Eric is using USB to network two computers he is using a cable as shown here. I don't know of any way to do it using for example a USB A to USB A cable.

Two computers can be easily networked using an ethernet cable and newer machines do not require a crossover ethernet cable. Most older systems require a crossover ethernet cable.

Thanks Ron, I will try the ethernet connection. E

That's what I've got on the desktop, with them both in portrait mode.

1280 x 800 on the laptop.
