What resolution do you game at? "2011"

[qubit]

People are buying the "Full HD" marketing and don't realize that monitor market has actually taken a step backwards. I do a lot more with my monitor than watch HD movies.

And don't get me started on the shiny/glossy trend that people are also buying into. I just don't get it.

Sounds like the Apple Reality Distortion Field effect, dunnit? <gag>

I am using a HEAVIER 23" CRT from Dell. I was stuck in 1024x768 for years, since i got this one!

Such a low res, you poor schmuck! That's like the iPad. What are you running that CRT at now? I'll bet you enjoy the lack of ghosting on movement and zero input lag.

 

[catnipkiller]

why do all the bench marks never run at 1920 by 1080p? is there a reason for this?

I am using a HEAVIER 23" CRT from Dell. I was stuck in 1024x768 for years, since i got this one!

I've still got an LG Flatron 17" 775FT in my 'old collection'. It's just the one CRT I don't want to part with I used it for looong years, and it's still perfect! (apart from weighing 45lbs -- it's the heaviest CRT in my collection, I can barely move it around)

Then I spent some months on a 17" LCD MAG monitor at the same 1280x1024 as the LG, and then in 2007 I bought another LG Flatron, this time a 22" LCD @ 1680x1050 (very nice monitor, no bad pixels), and then last November I got the Dell shown in system specs. It's only since I owned the Dell that I realized how off my LG 22" was regarding colours...

I really thought the next step up would be 2048x1152 like on my Samsung. But it appears that it has died off. I think the only other company that made this resolution was Dell.

The whole market seems all messed up now. Graphics power keeps increasing however resolution seems to be stalled.

 

[Swamp Monster]

1680x1050 for me. I don't need bigger for now, because I was using 1024x768 CRT before.

 

[Jan Kyster]

Why (replace Dell 2711 with Philips 240S)

Above all I want maximum image quality and the meagre 5970 simply can't drive the Dell with that high resolution.
At least not in my favorite game... refused to get one more 5970 :shadedshu so had to let the Dell go.

One hell of a monitor though. Saw no flaws with it and top notch image.

But the current Philips is actually very, very good too. And the 5970 has no problems driving it with all settings maxed out.

Nah, wrong link!

Here's the correct one, but beware of crying and whining! http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=177907

Big jump on 1080. No real surprise there I guess.

I'm 1920x1200 since mid-2007 but thats cause I scored a free Apple Cinema from work back in the day.

 

[HossHuge]

Just a reminder. This is where we were almost 3 years ago.

 

[Shou Miko]

ain't almost every thing 1920x1080 today even PS3 and Xbox360 uses that at max resolution and i have had that resolution for over a year both at my screen and LCD tv it's awesome, i always liked big desktops ^^;

If you look at the chart 2560x1600 still has 3 people I bet its the same 3 as of now. I would love to help make that 3 a # 4

 

[adcx64]

I'm a 640x480 enthusiast.

 

[Spectrum]

1680x1050 for me

Ya, me too. I just can't get passed the price of them. Especially, when you have a family. For every piece of hardware that I buy, I have to do a buy/get in shit from the wife analysis to see if it's worth it. If I were to pick up one of those monitors, I'd have to lie to her and tell her it actually improves your eyesight.....

So, does anyone know what the new graphics card max resolution will be after 2560x1600? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_resolutions#Computer_graphics

 

[christian27]

1024 x 768 and 1280 x1024 enough for me so far

i know the next ones gunna be 2560x1440, for the next 'HD' resolution, followed by 3840x2160

 

[Spectrum]

3840x2160? that's huge! Also if you consider that graphics cards still struggle to run games at 2560x1600.
Then again there is the gtx 595 and amd 6990 on the way... both with massive amounts of memory.

 

[MN12BIRD]

1920x1080 only because that's my monitors native resolution. I'm not a pixel junkie and to be honest I would be perfectly happy with 1280x720 if that was the native resolution. But of course that looks like ass when the monitor scales it.

 

[Protagonist]

I game at 1920x1080 coz my monitor supports it, i have a Dell SX2210 21.5 inch, and coz i used to have Nvidia Geforce 9800GT 1GB it worked well, then i switched to AMD Radeon HD 5770 1GB and it also did a good job, Now i'm using Nvidia Geforce GTX 460 1gb and its great too, so 1920x1080 doesn't feel like a anything special, plus i used to and still gaming with every thing enabled......

resolutions are higher than 2560x1600 now, there are 3840x2160 AUO screens

 

[wickerman]

For the last few years I ran 1920x1200 on a Dell 2407, and once I got tired of fixing the stupid power button I relegated it to server duty and now run a Dell U2711 at 2560x1440. Thinking about adding a few more

 

[MxPhenom 216]

1920x1200. But monitors this size seem to be going extinct.

but they are still win! i hate seeing 16:9 monitors compared to my 16:10. they look so long and weird

 

[malcolm2608]

Im just fine at 1366 x 768 or 1400 x 900 if im using my sister's computer .

 

[phobias23]

1920x1080p/23" Viewsonic,

 

[qubit]

640x480 with max AA is fine.

You took a step backwards in more than just resolution. You also downgraded from an IPS based panel to a Tn-film based panel, so now your monitor has less accurate colors. I gotta say, that was a huge mistake. You should have at least went down to a U2410 or some other IPS based solution.
