Guess what it is

I agree -

1280x1024
1680x1050
1920x1080
2560x1080
2560x1440 - heresy! 1600p or not at all!
4K

True lies!

Yes indeed...

2560x1440 - heresy! 1600p or not at all!

That must make me a heretic...which isn't bad going, for an atheist!

An atheist who calls himself god. Ironic, and yet profound.

It's what you see when you pause a video trying to give you a seizure.

If not monitor aspect ratios maybe paper size ratios?

Ah, Zakky, you almost had me foxed with that yellow box, then I had a moment of inspiration while dropping off last night.

very well done indeed

1280x1024 possibly the most popular resolution for a very very long time. I still see these in work places daily
1680x1050 I'd say equally popular, before 1080P Hi Def made the world think that 1920 was the defacto width for a battle field or space-ship bridge
1920x1080 must be the numero uno after all this time
2560x1080 someone prolly found the panels cut well, and two lots of the 1280 width made lots of sense for people wanting bragging rights
2560x1440 one of, I think, the cleverer sizes and immensely useful for many more people that ever got to use it because it stayed too expensive for too long imho
3840x2160 aka 4K.... likley to leap frog the 2560x1440 I'd say.


thank you all for your excelent guessing

I delierately didn't put in 1024x768 as its too far gone now.. and also I ignored 1920x1200 which is a superb res but was eclipsed by 1920x1080 for value for money

My principal monitor is a 1280x1024 that a friend rescued from the work skip for me. Lovely Iiyama, great piece of kit

Ah, zakky, I think you got the ratios wrong on that one then. I'm pretty sure your largest green square is 16:10 ratio, not 16:9. Excellent game though

Personally I've always been a big fan of the 4:3 ratio: I still have a 1024x78 monitor to use as a secondary, and I passed on my 21" CRT to the step-son who is enjoying playing his games at 1600x1200 @ 85Hz

For me 21" 16x12 is still the peak of resolutions, but I think the CRT will be going after this house - just too bulky to keep moving
with us. Not sure what I'll replace it with though....

no.. I promise I made it right

Used Paint Shop Pro 7 and everything...

I think scary's right, Zak. The overall image, i.e. the green box, comes out as 976*605. 976/605=1.61, which roughly = 16:10.

If it was 16:9, width/height should give a figure of 1.7 (recurring), rather than 1.61.

I made it to proper size pixel perfect (ie vast)and then shrunk it as one jpeg...
I promise.. I promise.... I promise....
