What is your maximum resolution?

November 21, 2003 12:14:54 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
A followup on papidon's resolution thread. What is the maximum resolution you can set your computer to?

To start off, Aqua. can go to 2048x1536
Though, I only go this high for photoshopping at home. Believe me, everything is tiny, but I sure have lots of desktop space to work with.

I can go as high as you like....

 

 

 

It's yet another story for my monitor, however...as I'd rather it didn't sit there quietly smoking and crackling....

Yup, 1280x1024 seems just right for regular use. Anything lower, and everything just looks huge.

My Toshiba will go up to (and operate just fine at,) 2048x1536

Of course, that's with hardware scrolling and only seeing 1024x768 at a time...

1024x768. Laptop's montior is great, but as usual for laptops, res is limited.

1280x1024 (15 vis)

I'm getting a Radeon 9600 Pro soon with a nice 19inch CRT monitor though. I would go higher than 1024x768 but the low Hz rate hurts my eyes.

Screen (17") maxes out at 1600x1200, which just happens to be the resolution I use. Graphics card maximum is 2048x1536, but you'd need an awfully big screeen to use that.

Well, the Sony site says my monitor will go up to 2304 x 1440 but I've never tried it, I find 1920X1200 or 1920X1440 to be the best resolution for me..

my screen is only 15 inches, so 1024 x 768 would be max

Just recently bought a new 19" monitor that suppuots 1600x1200, which is what I'm running at. 1280x1024's texts are a bit too bit (for me), 1600 is just right. More spaces as well. I don't need squint my eyes or lunge forward to read something. A fair 2 to 3 feet away.

New 21" monitor with resident resolution of 1600x1200, and a new graphics card nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra w/ Dual RAMDACs for display res up to 2048x1536...but I generally use 1280x1024 for my comfort level. Our admin person at work has a 19" LCD monitor and uses whatever the next lower resolution from 800x600 is...ick, makes a normal desktop icon look like a wallet-sized photo!

I use 1024 x 768 its just easier to work with..I also use a laptop with a dual monitor set up...I run one monitor with P7 and use my second one to keep something like adobe acrobat or IE open to view tutorials when Im trying out new techniques.I find my laptop with ATI radeon card to be very High Res and nice to work with...It helps to be able to look from one screen to the other.
