| | | Screen Resolution
We've covered this tangentally in other polls, but it's been brought to my attention that perhaps the range of screen resolutions of our members might be a bit wider than I suspected. I assumed that, as graphics editors, everyone was running at a high (or very high) resolution, and used that assumption when designing this site. But we all know about assumptions, so let's find out definitively.

| | | On my computer, I'm running 1024 X 768. My wife's is set at 640 X 480. The menu is displayed just fine on mine, but on my wife's, part of the menu is cut off. I do my Photoshop work on mine, but at times I jump on hers to check things out.

| | | I'm using 1280 x 1024 at 85hz refresh rate. I'd use 1600 x 1200 for the size, but at that resolution I can only get a 72hz refresh rate out of my video card, which I don't really like.

| | I had to look at Properties to see what I have it set at. It's not set at the highest setting but pretty close. I'm set at 1792 x 1344 pixels. I don't like to scroll very much.

At that resolution everything must be microscopic  |

| |  I guess it's small because I see other peoples settings and everything looks so big but I don't even notice it. I don't have trouble reading anything and no I don't have a 40" (wish I did) but I do have a 21".
I think my idea of the perfect computer set up is a 70" monitor (like the big screen tvs) with a recliner so I can put my feet up and relax and everything at my finger tips. Ergonomics at their best.

| | I voted 800x600, but really I'm with Ed & Jill. I switch it to 1024x768 when working. I just can't read web pages and email comfortably at the higher resolution.

| | I use 1024x768 all the time with a 17" monitor, and have no problems working with Photoshop and reading print.  |

| | I'm using 1280x1024 on a 14" laptop. It works fine with PS and the forum and the scrolling is at a minimum.

| | | 1024x768 on a 20" monitor - but I also use Double Desktop a neat little free utility that I've had for years and don't think I could live without. Keep the program on one side and my notes on the other.

| | I use 1024/768 on a 17", wish it were larger, like 21"
Over on the PSP NG, some of the folks use 2 monitors. |
