Young · 12-06-2004, 08:20 PM

1024 X 768

Ian · 12-06-2004, 08:23 PM

Yup, ya gotta have a big monitor or it'll kill your eyes. On a 21" it's fine and a 21" CRT doesn't cost much these days.

Just fucking around man...

I've been on (at least) 1600x1200 with OS fonts set at 10px -- since I got my first 17". Did you really have problems at that resolution, click?

ProjectNaked · 12-06-2004, 08:23 PM

I'm at 1280 x 800 on one and 1024 x 768 on the other side -

view ---> text size ---> medium - larger - largest

DesignWise · 12-06-2004, 08:26 PM

bigger monitor higher resolution works for me

Jace · 12-06-2004, 08:28 PM

you know someone that has not worked in video editing or photoshop much, cause they have their res set to 1024x768

once you work in video editing or big photoshop files at 1600x1200 you can't ever go back

Illicit · 12-06-2004, 08:28 PM

You might want to see a doctor, I think your going blind.

i use that resolution on my laptop with no problems at all

MikeVega · 12-06-2004, 08:34 PM

I use that setting on all my pc's .... but i be honest i do get a headache on days i write alot .. maybe i should change it ..

ive got a 15" lcd with 1024x768 and i have no problem reading anything

jeffrey · 12-06-2004, 08:41 PM

15" thats to small.

I have a pair of 19" crt running 1600x1200

I dont know how people live with a small monitor, or one with low rez, and without two monitors actually. I feel cramped without two.

CHANGE THE REFRESH RATE TO HIGHEST

wesbob2k4 · 12-06-2004, 10:16 PM

1024 X 768 and some times i go higher...

warlock5 · 12-06-2004, 10:19 PM

I just switched to 800x600 from 640x480. I can't see shit!

boner 2.0 · 12-06-2004, 10:56 PM

1024x768@85Hz on a crap Viewsonic

1024x768@100+Hz is not that bad

bangman · 12-06-2004, 10:58 PM

I use 1600x1200 for photoshop but regularly use 1024x768.

yeah, a lot of people don't realize you have to also change the refresh rate along with the resolution...otherwise you get a headache, BIG TIME

Project-Shadow · 12-07-2004, 12:37 AM

1280x1024 has been my fave res since 17" anything smaller is just tackey.

chodadog · 12-07-2004, 01:03 AM

Refresh rates change when you increase your resolution. You want at LEAST 85 hertz. They say the minimum you should have is 75, but i still find that causes headeaches with more than a few hours of use. 85 hertz or higher is the way to go.
