Resolution (15)

What is your current screen resolution?
Mine is 1024x768, I've used larger displays in past but I've noticed that most of that space is usually empty and I prefer information density. 1024x768 was also the standard when most of the software I use was made, so things tend to fit neatly.

I was a 1280x1024 guy for ages, but right now I'm 1920x1080 after getting a new monitor.

1920x1080, nothing to write home about, really.

1024x768, fast and has all the definition I care to look at.

5 Name: Nameless : 2026/05/06 05:48

1920x1080 @ 60.033 Hz
3840x2160 @ 30.000 Hz (16:9)

1920x1200 LED 120hz (my laptop screen)
1920x1080 TN 60hz (my 2nd screen)
1024x768 CRT 85hz (for my xp machine)

I'd really like to use my CRT monitor as my main screen, but my VGA-to-HDMI adapter has AIDS

30hz? how can you possibly use that as a sane human?

8 Name: Nameless : 2026/05/08 15:30

I really don't get 4k30 at all, unless it is strictly only watching videos and pretty much never gets used for the desktop or games or anything else.

30hz is the lowest you'd need, and honestly it would be quite comfortable, but I think 60-100~hz is about perfect.

ideally, I would have some kind of crazy 600hz screen, but I play rhythm games and thus actually do need the extra framerate so notes don't just jump down the screen in big, hard to read steps when I increase my scroll speed

when my trinitron was still working i used 1280x960@90Hz, then the green gun gave up the ghost, and now i'm stuck with a 1024x768 LCD and i absolutely hate it, because i don't know how to fix the trinitron. 16:9 just feels wrong to me now.

16:9 is cool for watching stuff and work but 4:3 is perfect for everything else
The web alone has never looked good on a 16:9 screen
To the point where modern websites are either zoomed in (which looks terrible) or have borders.
For games, it depends. I'd say only FPS are worth playing on a 16:9 screen (except maybe the older ones like Doom ).

I miss my 1280x1024 screen because web browsing really does suck at 1920x1080.

1920x1080 for main pc, 1600x900 for my current laptop

My previous main laptop has 1024x768, it's very workable especially with the fine-tuned font sizes etc (and it makes picking wallpapers way easier as an aside, opens up so many older wallpapers that are otherwise awkward at both high sizes and 16:9) and I still got plenty of use out of it as an excellent Win2000 machine after getting a new laptop but at the moment it's sadly out of commission due to both the battery and the charger croaking

16:9 is the biggest crime to ever happen to monitors.
