17" CRT

17" Mitsubishi Diamond 1770FD. Prefer 1280x1024 over 1024x768 simply because you get more on the screen. Can be a bit squinty sometimes for text, but theres a button on my Logitech MX1000 for changing text size.
1024 x 768 @ 15' LCD

Such a monitor was most popular in Japan seldom years ago. As you know it is too small for desk top computer. However if I upgrade to more large one, I'd also have to upgrade my graphic chips!

its the native resolution of my new dell 24" widescreen lcd. it works beautifully with both my mac mini through dvi, and my older windows machine through vga. this thing is capable of displaying a full 1080p high def tv signal natively, and i love it.

I find that if you go smaller than 1024x768 on a 17" monitor, you cant see anything, it shows everything on screen.

I am 50 % blind but I do like 1024x768. Blind becaause every thing is dark. The monitor is backlite so it is easier to read for me. I just discovered the sound recorder I'm going to go crazy getting my reading skills up to 2nd grade. I'm 70 god forsaken years old been in computers since 1975. Love them and what they'll do for the new generation coming up. C ya

I can't understand why anyone would want to use there eye glasses to watch a pc screen when most folks can just enlarge the screen items and do away with the eye strain
Another vote for 800x600
by joe704 - 10/25/05 9:48 AM In reply to: 800 x 600 (on 19inch lcd by DadmadeitI'm old; higher resolution makes my eyes ache. As a result, the CNET web pages (and many others) come to me with the left side of the screen partially missing. This appears to be independent of screen size or type.

I am using 1280 X 1024 on a 19" plasma monitor. On my other computer I use 1200 X 1600 on a 21" CRT Type.

I prefer 1024x768 @85 Hz on my 17" KDS flat screen monitor.
I can hardly wait for the day that I can afford a PCI express video card with 512 megs of on board ram pluged into a 64 bit motherboard !

My fave seems to work only on ati video systems upgraded to drivers newer than the default
It's a screen resolution 1024 x 768 on a 15-inch or larger monitor displaying 2048 x 1536 from the adapter.
This allows scrolling across a display 2 screens wide x 2 screens high, giving 4 'quadrants', each at 1024 x 768.
I use them for (clockwise from ten o'clock) 1 - main work; 2 - help and multi-tabbed firefox for lookups and references; 3 - data access, eg windows explorer, ftp; 4 - monitoring, eg task manager, performance monitor, network monitor.
Be careful to STAY WITHIN THE MONITOR'S FREQUENCY RANGE. You need to go to display properties.settings.advanced.monitor and turn OFF ''Hide modes that this monitor cannot display.'' Note the WARNING ''CLEARING THIS CHECK BOX MAY ... LEAD TO ... DAMAGED HARDWARE''
TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

On a 21" monitor.

I have a 17" lcd using a GeForce 6600 GT by EVGA graphics card. I find that that 1024x768 is to big & 1280x1024 is too small. So I'm trying the in-between 1152x864
