Re: What resolution monitor setting do you browse at ?
 

Same here (work PCs as well). Some of the PC's I deal with at work are limited to 1024x768 though, and my Mac Mini is currently set to 1600x1200 with large fonts as it looks so much nicer.

1280x1024 at home and work...

Both 17" tft monitors...

Re: What resolution monitor setting do you browse at ?
 

At home 1280x1024 on a 17" CRT.

And is it me, or does it irk me that a great percentage of the TFT screens at the college I go to are not set at their native resolution, thereby resulting in a horrid blurry out of focus image?

I change the settings on all of the ones I go on to their proper resolution - it looks much better. I found one running 800x600 or a 17" TFT - not a nice sight I can tell you!

Shame the IT department hasn't twigged that alot of the new PCs with TFTs are running at a horrid low resolution of 800x600 on a 17" TFT.

And that their new PCs with CRT screens are running at a horrible 60Hz refresh rate (pukes). I would have thought that putting them on the most appropriate setting for good performance and also for user comfort before rolling them out in public would be a priority at least, but no. *dives into display settings control panel after logon*

Show off! :D

1280x1024 here (PC and lappy)

Re: What resolution monitor setting do you browse at ?
 

I commented on this earlier:


I think it comes down to poor eyesight (possibly they're too vain to wear the appropriate glasses?): their eyes must have poor acuity not to see the flicker on a screen refreshing at 60Hz, and they like the 800 x 600 display because it makes the letters nice and BIG!

Of course, with reasonable eyesight and only a little nous, you realise that a higher resolution gets you more real estate on the screen: being able to see the whole page of a document at once as you work on it, or a much larger area of a spreadsheet, means you can work much more effectively. I often post spreadsheets from work to myself at home just because, with the higher resolution, I can get stuff worked out so much faster and more effectively than at work.

well 17" flat screens have a stupid native res, it is set too high so you need a 19" to see the text without damaging your eyes. I would guess this means a lot of people set 17" below their native resolution.

Another vote for 1400 x 1050 here.

Re: What resolution monitor setting do you browse at ?
 

Most web site stats programs will be recording that sort of info

here is an example : http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

And don't forget not everyone uses a browser on full screen, so all that space may not in fact be available

Re: What resolution monitor setting do you browse at ?
 

1280x1024 on my main PC, This is the highest res I can run while maintaining 85hz.
1024x768 on the laptop as this is the native res of the display.

Re: What resolution monitor setting do you browse at ?
 

I've got a few monitors plugged into my main system at home, well 3, all good old fashioned CRT's, but nice quality ones.

1600x1200@85Hz on my main 21"
1280x960@75Hz on my 2 17" (I prefer the square pixels, 1280x1024 just doesn't look quite right to me somehow).

Server runs
1024x768@75Hz on a 17"

HTPC runs
1024x768 on the WS TV in the lounge

Laptop runs
1400x1050
