What else do you need to know? That is my preferred setting. Everyone else is just wasting time writing anything else beyond their fast response to the question - but go to it !
I agree

LG Flatron ez t710bh 1024x768 at 85hz (CRT)
by Kutusov - 10/22/05 9:06 AM In reply to: I agree by lucky76Of course it depends on the monitor but also on the video card. High-end resolutions demand high-end cards or they will shouke on the graphics processing. So, for this monitor and for a 6600gt (AGP slot) I find this to be the best resolution. And yes, higher res and you will need a magnifing glass to see things.

A low resulution like they use results in caracters of half an inch on theyr screens. If they can't read anything smaller, there's something wrong.

by deshleman - 10/21/05 11:42 AM In reply to: 1024 x 768 60KHZ Mac 15 in powerbook by bandaid69I use 1400x1050 on a 14" laptop and I love it! However, its not the best for reading text for long periods of time...
Same here
by Dallas Wilm - 10/21/05 2:33 PM In reply to: 1400x1050 by deshlemanI have 1400x1050 also, except on a 15 inch monitor. (HP Notebook) It is its max resolution. On my other desktop computer i use 1024x768 which is its max before getting blurry.
did have... couple years ago
by MotionPixels - 10/24/05 9:07 PM In reply to: Same here by Dallas WilmWas 1400X1050 on a DELL Inspiron with 15" LCD but I didn't like the tremendous variation in brightness going from top to bottom of the screen (was my first experience with notebook and LCD) so I returned it for one with a 14" screen in an attempt to minimize the shift in brightness by reducing the overall size. I guess any of you that had-- or have-- the older type LCD's know what I'm talking about here.
Anyway... I was happy with that resolution (1400X1050) since it was good for photos and text after some size settings were made. The 15" would have helped there while I got used to the change from my 19" desktop CRT monitor. Except that LCD's make things much easier on the eyes in the first place, so it isn't too bad going to such a smaller size screen with higher resolution.
Now I have another DELL notebook with 15" screen at 1600X1200 resolution, yet still not of the better quality kind. I think DELL called those other LCD's "Ultra Sharp" at first (maybe still do), but I am okay with saving the money for the lower quality kind.
I also have a DELL Dimension with LCD monitor that is 17" 1600X1200. I just like the 1600X1200 best for the screen sizes of 15" and 17", maybe I would say that of a 19" too if I had one. Any larger and maybe I could use more pixels because I use my computers mostly for photos and computer graphics, not gaming and text; although I suppose games might be better at using larger screens now than when I was buying ones like DOOM, DOOM II, Heretic, Hexen, Quake. I just don't mess around with games anymore.
Screen Resolution

I'm using 1600x1200 on a 20" Formac flat panel. I have a friend that just bought a Dell 2400 flat panel and he is using 1960x1200 and it is a beautiful widescreen display, I wish I had the money, it's a $1000.
1920x1200.

Where do you buy a 1900x1440 monitor? I've never seen one!
1920 x 1200 for me too!

(NT) 1920 x 1200 on a 24" Dell

by skipperjohn - 10/21/05 8:43 AM In reply to: 1920x1200. by XTrekA decent 21 or 22 inch CRT monitor with a reasonably fast graphics card can do 1920 x 1200 with ease (and can use even higher resolutions than 1920 x 1200.
However, it's also important to have a monitor/graphics card setup with a fairly high refresh rate for nice graphics.
I have a nice Mitsubishi FP2141SB CRT Monitor with a Nvidia GEForce 5700LE (far from a very high end graphics card), and it will display up to 2048 x 1536 at 85 hz. I run with 1600 x 1200 at a refresh rate of 100 Hz with this monitor and my graphics card.
HP L2335
by nazcalito - 10/21/05 9:48 AM In reply to: 1920x1200. by XTrekIf you want a flat panel, the HP L2335 diplays that resolution. It costs a little over $1000. It's kind of a funny resolution, not the standard 4x3.
There are plenty of old CRTs around (21 inches or more) that can display that resolution. Whether it will look good is another matter.
