At home I use 1600 x 1200 - that's at a 75Hz refresh rate; doesn't seem too much of a problem. At work I use 1024 x 768, but I'd use greater with a better (and larger) monitor.

It amazes me how many people work on spreadsheets and databases at 800 x 600 - you can hardly see any of what you're working on!

It also amazes me how many people at work happily use a monitor set at a 60Hz refresh rate, which I can hardly look at (certainly for any length of time) without getting a headache...
