What screen resolution do you use? (65)

1 Name: CyB3r h4xX0r g33k 2006-02-23 14:35 ID:wtrtRp/U

For me, it's 80x25. But if I decide I need graphics for some reason, then I use 1024x768.

why the fuck are you using 5:4 on a CRT?

>>11 what do you mean?

I have a lcd and my normal screen is 1280*1024*16 @ 75hz. It works perfectly fine in a range of games with resolutions at 1024*768 800*600 640*480 and 320*200. I don't change it for normal use because i'd really hate to have a desktop that was smaller than 1280*1024.

Me? Depends on the machine I'm on. A couple run fixed-frequency video cards, and can't run lower resolutions.

  • Desktop Machine: 2048x1576 @ 60Hz under Linux or 1600x1200 @72 on Windows (which is convinced the monitor can't do any higher) -- Hitachi CM753ET 19" CRT on ATI Radeon 9200SE 128MB
  • Laptop: 1024x768 (limit of LCD panel) -- Toshiba TE2100
  • SGI O2: 1024x768 @ 72Hz -- CRIME rev C video framebuffer.
  • SGI Indy: 1280x1024 @ 72Hz (X.org assumes this res. Linux relies on the PROM to set resolution) -- 8-bit Newport (XL)
  • SGI Indigo2 Impact: 1280x1024 @ 72Hz (PROM default, I normally use serial console/remote login on this box)
  • PDA: 640x480 (limit of LCD panel)

All the SGI boxes use the same monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 17GLsi. (17" CRT. As seen at http://dev.gentoo.org/~redhatter/mips/sgi/)

I usually try to run as higher resolution as possible. I get around readability issues using larger font sizes. I like being able to zoom out, see a large area, and zoom in on the detail. The one exception, is when the machine can't handle a higher resolution (e.g. the O2 can do 1280x1024, but fbdev is slow, and so it's better to keep the screen size small)

What is it with none but the most expensive LCDs supporting resolutions of >1280*1024 these days anyway? I'd have dumped my CRT ages ago if I could afford a 1600*1200-capable flatscreen.

24 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2006-06-15 19:26 ID:avJW/Jio

LCD, 1152*864, 75Hz.

1280*1024 on my desktops and a very strange 1280*700 on my laptop you 'd think it'd be 720 or 800 damn silly res screen cost me a mint to buy a new screen when I cracked it.

1680 x 1050 delicious widescreen laptop native res

only problem is its damned hard to find games / wp for that res

1024x768.
Sometimes 1280x1024 aswell!

28 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2006-07-17 17:18 ID:voNgnP6d

Anyone using 1280x1024 is a tool.

Says someone who can't afford a good monitor, no doubt.

>>28 Tell Silicon Graphics that. Unfortunately my SI and XL graphic cards only work at that resolution.

If it were a good monitor it would run at 4:3 like every other display standard.

32 Name: Redhatter : 2006-07-21 05:38 ID:Heaven

>>31 What about widescreen?

33 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2006-07-21 08:12 ID:SX8yO3kF

1280 x 1024

34 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2006-07-27 22:17 ID:Heaven

LCDs are usually 5:4, thus, 1280x1024.

However, using both 1280x1024 and 1024x768 (which is 4:3) on any kind of monitor is dumb, and will give you a deformed view.

>>34
no, LCDs are usually 8:5 (1280x800, 1440x900, 1680x1050, 1920x1200 etc.)

38 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2006-08-09 04:15 ID:US6X4BU1

>>37

No, LCD's aren't usually "any" sort of common ratio. I'm working on a 4:3 monitor atm (1024x768), my other displays are 8:5 and 5:4. So, you and >>34 are both wrong.

39 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2006-08-09 12:43 ID:Heaven

>>38
there is one ratio that is more common than any other, and that is probably 8:5.
I don't remember the last time i saw an ad for a non-widescreen LCD monitor, and non-widescreen laptops are virtually nonexistent (at least in the area where i live)...

1440x900 + 1280x1024

i tried making my 1280 to 16x12, but instead of resizing, it keeps its dpi and extends my monitor off screen.. if i wanna go to the top, move my mouse up, and the whole screen scrolls down, like a web page almost. sucks.

That's what multiple workspaces are for.

1024x768.

44 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2006-08-21 23:38 ID:idevm2Sp

> That's what multiple workspaces are for.

Especially when they are spread out across multiple Monitors. 2*1280x1024 is awesome. I want a third one, but that would probably be the limit of what I can use simultaneously.

45 Name: Redhatter : 2006-08-22 23:12 ID:Heaven

Multiple desktops and high resolution is even nicer. :-)

(There are just some apps that won't fit in 1024x768)

46 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2006-08-22 23:44 ID:Heaven

there are apps that do fit in 1024x768?

1280x1024 on a 17-inch crt (highest possible with this monitor AFAIK, unfortunately it can only do 60 Hz refresh at any resolution) here right now...
i want my laptop back ~~~~~>_<~~~~~

47 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2006-08-23 09:02 ID:jb4u5bKl

I'm running at 1280x1024. I don't how big my monitor is.

1600x1200 on a 20-incher

49 Name: Redhatter : 2006-08-24 23:00 ID:Heaven

>>46 Yes, I know there are... I'm using one right now... but it doesn't change the fact that some apps don't.

(e.g. x48 doesn't quite fit, it's just 30px too high)

I don't think I could handle a screen that big.... but having it would still be awesome.

Two LCD's at 16x12 and 1280x1024.

>>54 Damn... you do like grainy resolutions.

16x12 would barely fit one character. Maybe two skinny ones. I couldn't imagnine trying to navigate a UI on a screen that can only display no more than 2 letters at a time.

does anyone know of any laptops with a 15.4" or smaller screen that can do 1920x1200 or higher resolution?

1024x768 @ 85hz on a 17" Mitsubishi superbright Diamondtron 750SB. Best monitor ever. I have set the brightness/contrast using displaymate and the colour using Digital Video Essentials RGB filter, the picture quality is amazing, especially when using the superbright mode to watch films. Took my eyes a while to adjust to the sharp picture, but now looking at shadow mask CRT's the picture just looks fuzzy.

63 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2007-02-22 21:52 ID:ZG6OrthO

>>11
CRTs can adjust the number of pixels shown because it uses a gun to shoot electrons at the screen, that's why they have a refresh rate. LCDs used fixed pixels, and there is no refresh rate, however if you tell it to go to a non native resolution, it's still displaying 1280x1024, or what have you, just scaled up or down to what resolution you chose.

So long story short, no. Not, at least, until LCD technology is improved. I don't exactly see why pixels on an LCD just can't combine intelligently (assuming you choose the same aspect ratio) to be larger versions of themselves, but I only know the reason why it doesn't work based off of what an intro to comp. hardware class told me, I don't actually know how we could fix it xD

1280x1024 (this seems to be very usual with 4:3 LCD monitors).
