What resolution & colour depth is your OS desktop?

[Jiff Lemon]

Tempted to fling em into portrait mode for a birrova laugh....

1280x1024x32 on a 17" AOC.

[Butuz]

1024 x 32bpp on a age old Mitubishi Diamond Pro 700

[Dorza]

1152 X 768 32-bit on my IIyama VMpro 413 17". My sony MultiS 200sx 17" is also set to this. High Res's doesnt display correctly.

NEC 21" LCD @ 1600x1200/32 bit
Taxan 19" CRT @ 1240x1024/32 bit
Running dual screen

Damn... How the **** did you afford a 21" LCD ??

[Spud1]

1600x1200x32 on my Cornerstone 21" CRT =)

Hmm that will be on credit Graduate Loan....

Bought a bloody massive Max Black STORM 3 MPS Workstation with it:
NEC Multisync LCD 2110
Dual 2.8Gig Xeon on a Tyan Thunder
1 Gig Ram
Dvd Burner
ATI FireGL 256Pro

Needed a 3D beast. The Monitor is great, crystal clear and great colors and it's designed to run @ 1600x1200 only (every other res tends to be blocky). Only real problem is it only came in white .

[Stoo]

another 1600*1200*32 here

[Grey M@a]

1600x1200 32bit colour

Great for Photoshop and 3D Studio Max

Hehe I'd like one of those as well ! Give one to me?

Well, the comp I'm sitting by right now! (the family comp) it's 1280x1024.
A nice TFT screen "19 (I think..or is it 20"-21?) Whatever it's nice !

[turkster]

1280x1024 32bit on an Iiyama Prolite E431s 17" TFT
1024x768 32bit on a LG Studioworks 17" CRT
800x600 32bit on an old Dell 15" CRT

Talking of stupid resolution my archaeology dept brought a load of Dell workstations last year with lovely 19 TFTs. These were meant to be used for graphic design/autocad/photoshop/illustrator etc and they were all set to a screen res of 800x600 . Our tutor was going on about how brilliant the screens were .
In the end I just had to change them all up to 1280x1024, I couldnt bear it any longer

1280x1024 32bit, 60Hz on Iiyama VisionMaster 1403.

[streetster]

1600x1200x32 @ 75Hz.. would much prefer 85Hz but this 19" ibm beast only does 75 if i wanted too i could up the res to 2048xwhatever but only at 60hz which melts my eyes!

[Devilbod]

Sorry MS after realising that my 600cc bike was cheaper new than my PC (and the monitor was half of the price ) I don't think I could ever spend that much on a PC again...

[Howard]

Well due to the lovelyness of this old Packard Bell 17", I run at 1024x768 at 85Hz, with 32bit colour depth.

If it supported decent refresh rates (i.e 85 or over) at resolutions such as 1152x864 or 1280x960 I'd use them. But only 75 and 60Hz respectively. And I can't stand low refresh rates. Besides, 1024x768 is fine.

Once I get an Iiyama VMPro 454 I'll use 1600x1200 at 100Hz or whatever silly refresh rates that monitor supports

[BlackSheep]

I'm using a Iiyama VM Pro 514 (22") and although 1600x1200 (@ 100hz or 85hz) is clearer than it used to be on my old 19" VMPro it's still not as crystal clear as 1280x1024 which is much easier on the eyes - tends to look clearer at 100Hz than 120Hz where it just looks marginally less sharp.

If you are working with graphics though 1600x1200 or above is a god-send.

1600x1200 is very nice for some games, but too high for most of the games I'm currently playing - 1024x768 is the preferred res for optimum fps/IQ.
