Resolutions
 
Tell me something. What screen resolution do you guys use? I recently bumped mine up to 1280x1024, and it took getting used to, but now I like it better. What I'd like is to get a sense of what most people viewing this site use. (This'll help me judge what I can and can't do on, for example, the front page.)

I use 1024x768, but that's mostly because my Dad also uses this computer and is can't see anything smaller...

Sa'ar Chasm 06-24-2006 04:49 AM

I have absolutely no idea, but I recently increased it.

Hope that helped.

You know you can check these things, right? Your screen resolution doesn't just fade away, never to be remembered again. You're thinking of New Year's resolutions.

Same as you, Zeke-meister.

1280x1024.
I know, because it's getting damn annoying trying to resize 1024x768 wallpapers for this thing.

1024x768 -- I do most everything on my 12" iBook, which I take with me everywhere. My home and work PCs are set higher, but often when I'm here I'm on the iBook.

1280x1024 and LOVE IT
well and 1024x768 on laptop

Alexia 06-24-2006 11:26 AM

Well...

I use 1024x768 at work, and for all the desktop wallpapers I make...

But...

(and don't kill me)

I use 800x600 at home *runs and hides*

What can I say? I like things big? Ok... that's come out wrong xD

I have two monitors, one at 1024x768 and the other at 1152x864. However, Z, keep in mind that people use Explorer to browse and have that sidebar thing going on, so just because someone has a 1024 monitor doesn't mean they have 1024 pixels of screen space for 5M.net. Whatever your poll results are, I wouldn't design to that width -- I'd go at least one lower.

Derek 06-24-2006 12:12 PM

Good point, evay. Both my monitors at home and work run at 1280x1024, but while at work I run my browser window maximized, at home I run it in a smaller window. I know my wife also won't run any of her applications maximized.

MmeBlueberry 06-24-2006 12:21 PM

My laptop (at work, but at home during the summer) is at 1280x800, and my desktop is at 1024x768.

And, as Derek said, I don't like to have to maximize my browser windows if I can help it.

Chancellor Valium 06-24-2006 01:00 PM

On my laptop, 1024x768.

On my home PC, 1280x1024.

Celeste 06-24-2006 03:21 PM

1280x800, widescreen baby.

Tate 06-25-2006 07:00 AM

The screen resolution on this computer is 1152x864.

e of pi 06-25-2006 10:06 AM

Why would this drone need a screen? I just route it in through my optical implant. Seriously, 1034 by 768. And, apparently, multiple monitors. (Huh? When did that happen?)

mudshark 06-25-2006 02:41 PM

I had been using 1024x768. On the computer I'm using now, however, it's set at 800x600 -- I'll have to inquire about just why that is.

Nate the Great 06-26-2006 07:09 PM

Ditto, 1024 X 768. By choice, actually, any more resolution and stuff either spills over the edges or the icons get REALLY tiny. I've found that sort of thing a lot, technology advancing faster than our ability to adjust.

PointyHairedJedi 06-26-2006 08:41 PM

1024x768, which is as high as this system will go. Stupid crappy awful IGP (which isn't even supported anymore, double blah). Can't even enable the lowest level of hardware acceleration either otherwise it's Blue Screen City.
