What resolution do you game at? "2011"

Brandenburg · Feb 25, 2011

depends on the game and what is acceptable fps for me.. sometimes 1600X1200.. other times it will be 1280X768 or 1024X768.. Really depends on the game

I still game at 1440 x 900. I prefer smaller screens though.

Brandenburg · Feb 25, 2011

im using a heavy as 21" CRT

It puts incredible strain on my 3/4 desk.. A very well built desk with alot of metal support braces I might add...I LOVE IT THOUGH.. Good.. clear picture

Next monitor i get is a dual monitor setup.. 21" min flat screens

Gaming at 2560x1600 since 2007. Spent $1k for this LCD and it's worth every penny. It's still the best money spent on my pc.

newbsandwich · Feb 25, 2011

I'm at 1920 x 1200 for about a year now. Had 1680 x 1050 for 2 years, and 1024 x 768 before that.

Hey Brandenburg, I got that same Desk for my setup!

I love this desk.. So easy to disassemble and its very sturdy.. Best desk i have ever owned

Loving the 30 inch screen and 2560x1600 resolution. Pricey, but best pc investment I've made in years.

1080p

CDdude55 · Feb 25, 2011

Used a 19'' 1440x900 monitor since 2007, but last month i moved up to a 23'' 1920x1080 monitor.

1080p... wish i could afford eyefinity I want 3 or 6 of these HP LA2405wg Black / Silver 24" 5ms Height/Pivot/S...

newtekie1 · Feb 25, 2011

It depends on what computer/monitor I'm using at the time. But usually 1920x1080 or 1366x768, though my SLI GTX460s are connected to a 1280x1024 monitor currently so I play on that from time to time as well.

scooper22 · Feb 25, 2011

1920x1200 on my 24" ^-^

16:10 is just perfect, 16:9 is not high enough, amazing how much visual area is lost!

alucasa · Feb 25, 2011

1600 x 900 at 20inch.

I tried higher resolution monitors and found out that all it does is distract me, and since I place my monitor close to my eyes, I don't need a bigger resolution.

And at 1600 x 900, GTX 460 does wonders.

1920x1200, after gaming on 1600x1200 for so long I always felt like gaming on 1920x1080 was cutting off to much. I am not sure why 1920x1200 is going extinct either IMO it is the best resolution for a single monitor. Price difference would probably be the main reason. But it is so worth it to have that extra 200px in height.

Actually, it is only 120px in hieght, and it really isn't worth it. 16:10 is dying because 16:9 panels are flooding the market, and are hence cheaper, because manufacturers can make the same panels for TVs as they do for computer monitors.

16:10 - 1680 x 1050 on a 21" monitor

I used to game at 1600x1200 on my old Viewsonic G810 looked great and yes the extra height was nice. but now being on 1680x1050 for years I don't notice it any more.

I personall worry more about the rarity of the higher resolutions than the disapearance of 1920x1200 monitors.

I'd hoped that by now being 2011 we'd see a push for higher resolutions especially in the face of all the gpu power we've been seeing compared the games that come out. But it seems that once Tv's finally caught up and got to 1080P the whole market shutdown and stayed at that resolution for everything. We had far more advancement in pc screen resolution when tv's were still analog than when tv's could do hd resolutions.

For me there's gotta be a connection there. So I have a bad feeling that we won't start to see higher resolutions be more mainstream in pc's until we start to see higher resolutions in TV's.

Man, I bet you don't get any frame rate drops at all on anything with all that horsepower driving that tiny res.

+1. I find 16:10 to be the most comfortable aspect ratio. I used to prefer 4:3, but not since I used a 16:10 display for a while. A 16:9 ratio is just that little bit too narrow.

Yup, monitor specs are now being driven by TV specs. Sad, isn't it? :shadedshu

Wouldn't it be nice to have a 2560x1600 display that didn't cost a small fortune? We would if we weren't stuck at 1080.

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.

I shoot for 1920x1200 on my left 24" LCD, but sometimes I go to lower res for higher FPS.
