the other day i had to change monitor resolutions because a web site i developed wasn’t showing up properly in 1280×1024 resolution. after staying at that resolution for a while i thought i’d give it a try for a day or 2.
for the longest time now i’ve been using a 19″ monitor (recently got a ViewSonic [best monitors around??] from my bro :D) at 1024 x 768. it’s just always been comfortable for me. i’ve seen guys set their resolutions to the point that the text was so small that u had to squint to read it… thats not my style… and others who have it blown up so the icons are the size of a poker chip… yikes… again not my style.
the added room on screen is certainly helpful when u multitask like i do. who knows maybe i’ll keep moving up in resolution til i’m the guy who cant really read whats on the screen… i’ll definetly not go the other way unless age and loss of eyesight creeps up on me 😀
My eyes went from so-so to horrible in the past year. I’m stuck at 1024 x 768, and prolly will be until my a$$ get some laser surgery or something. But its better than the old grandma 800×600 haha

oh and when I first read it… i felt a poll coming on… but I guess you didn’t feel the same way.

haha… ive been meaning to update my poll… and that would prolly be a good one just to see what most everyone else is looking at. maybe when i can spare 5 minutes haha.
I’m a 1280 X 1024 guy…on a 19″ flat panel. I love the extra room and it is still easy to read. I can’t go much smaller if any.
