I run mine at 1152 x 864. After installing XP Pro, the desktop icons at 1024 x 768 looked kinda blurry so I upped the resolution to 1152. Any higher and I can't read them.

1280x1024 on a 19" monitor. I like the destkop room, although recently I hvae made it so there is not a single icon on my desktop

. I have changed all my fonts and made them bigger to make them easier to read.

Monitor 1-1280x1024@60 Hertz, Monitor 2 - 1280x1024@100Hertz. Seems to be easist on the eyes.

1600x1200 because, basically, I can. I mean you don't really worry about scrolling on a lot of things and plus why not?

1024x768 on a 19in flatscreen

Any smaller and I can't read any writing. Although maybe I need to do what HT does and bump up my font size.

1152x864x32 on a 19"

Just seems the best fit for my eyes. I do have the font size larger though.

Dual monitors here:

1280 x 960 on the main 19" monitor
1152 x 864 on the 2nd 19"

Using the Windows Standard Large text layout.

I like the res set as high as I can comfortably stand it. The more desktop real estate the better.

1152 x 864, nice ratio, 1280 x 1024 is too flat

and i like how i can see better since my screen is like 3 feet away from me

1280x1024 because that's my LCD's native resolution. Anything else looks like ass.

1152x864x32 on a 17" monitor, but for gaming, I use 800x600.

1600x1200 on my 21" Sony cause I can and I really got used to the available desktop space.

Posted: **Tue May 28, 2002 2:15 pm**

1024x768 'cause that's the best I can see with these cheap glasses
