Just curious to see what resolutions everyone is running.

I'm running 1920X1200 on my laptop.

What is that...widescreen?

WadeJ · « **Reply #2 on:** December 28, 2006, 09:35:40 AM »

Neat idea for a post. I'm a bit surprised by the 800x600 vote. It that due to hardware constraints? There are almost no web sites anymore (including this one lol) that support such a low resolution.

Overlord, that would be a native res for a wide screen laptop

Fjask · « **Reply #3 on:** December 28, 2006, 11:00:56 AM »

Yes, my laptop is widescreen.

PcMan · « **Reply #4 on:** December 28, 2006, 11:15:08 AM »

I run 1600x1200 on my 21" "workhorse PC"
I run 1080x1024 native on my 19" LCD "home PC" (new 19" LCD $99 see below for link)

and on my ThinkPad Z60m 15.4in Widescreen I run 1680x1050 LCD native
I own many many laptops and this is my only widescreen.
Most of my other laptops run 1024x768 or higher
And on the smaller side- On my 3G Cingular 8525 I run 320x240 LOL

19" JC-199D Analog Digital Flat Panel LCD Monitor $99 after rebate

1024 X 768

GADVwow · « **Reply #6 on:** December 28, 2006, 07:57:22 PM »

Same here. Anything finer than 1024 x 768 and it's too small for this old guy to read!

to me the higher the resolution the more you can have on the screen
the more room to work.
Yes it harder on the eyes

it's like having a bigger desk for all your work and papers

games look awesome at 1600x1200 and higher just need a fast vid card

GADVwow · « **Reply #8 on:** December 28, 2006, 10:01:50 PM »

What are these games you speak of?

Parcheesi and Monopoly and Battleship on the kitchen table are good enough for me!

Har har har.

PcMan · « **Reply #9 on:** December 28, 2006, 10:31:15 PM »

Actually I really don't have the time to play any games but when I did if only for 20 minutes they looked best at 1600x1200 ho ho ho he he he LOL.
Yes I remember when the first Quake came out and everyone went out and paid $300 for a 3Dfx ADD-ON video accelerator it worked alongside a 2d video card.
they are now worth about $1 now and obsolete, Microsoft's Direct X, Direct 3D took over OpenGL . I'm showing my age
I even sell GeForce 4 video cards New for $14
I remember buying a 2400baud modem for $120 now I'm moving at 8-12mbps
Yes and Monopoly will never get old.

For you speed junkies
Comcast now pumping out 16mbps Weeee.
THey are trying to compete with FIOS (Fiber Optic to the home) which is rolling out
in some parts of my area (Berlin,Haddonfield,Cherry Hill)) with Internet and TV

WadeJ · « **Reply #11 on:** December 30, 2006, 05:32:43 PM »

Um, yeah.... except for areas with high populations or during peak usage hours, or when its not raining...and so on and so on.... Comcast is scared and should be. FIOS will eventually crush them. Coax simply can't compete. Plus, FIOS won't degrade the way cable does if there happens to be a ton of customers on the same leg as you or if some kid decides they need to down load movies 24/7.

Btw- Isn't this a tad off topic lol

PcMan · « **Reply #12 on:** December 30, 2006, 07:43:42 PM »

i'm posting on 320x240
yes will stay on topic.

WadeJ · « **Reply #13 on:** December 30, 2006, 07:47:06 PM »

LOL thanks
btw- Am I imagining things or did 800x600 have a vote before and no longer does??

overlord · « **Reply #14 on:** December 30, 2006, 07:55:12 PM »

You need to go ride some coasters Wade. You are losing it....

Either Stratton or Florida in VT for me.

This topic is FARRRR off topic, no looking back now.

David Jr · « **Reply #20 on:** January 02, 2007, 06:10:01 PM »

Hainesport is NOT going to get fiber optic, PERIOD. they told us it would cost too much to install here. They will only put it in rich neighborhoods.

Not coaster related but it's fast:
