Vote: Poll:What resolution do you use on your (largest) Monitor? (http://www.macpolls.com/?poll_id=80&ref=forums.macrumors.com)

I'm going to say 1280x(), since my only computer is a PowerBook G4 DVI, which runs at 1280x854

[AssassinOfGates]

'Tis sad, our iMacs at school can go up to 1024x768, yet the teachers default them to 800x600 and yell at you if you change the settings. At home i use 1024x768 on my pismo, and 1280x1024 on my 17" flat CRT

[agreenster]

Regardless of resolution, if Im using a CRT, it HAS to refresh at 85 Hz. Anything under that, and my eyes get nutso.

[SilvorX]

1024x768 on my 17" monitor...higher than that basically blinds me....

[Stike]

1600x1200 is still good on my 19" CRT.
Good thing with Chimeras "Enlarge Text" feature and the OS X magnification, but I don´t need it that much...

[Datazoid]

or does a 17" iMac not count? :confused:

I think 1280 x 1024,but that wasn't an option. I have an old
CRT 17" studio display. Good monitor, I have had a lick of trouble
but it has never 'bitten' me ;).

[Flickta]

1152x870, not 970... It's a 17 inch crt. It has some problems with geometry, so at 1280x1024 smearing (or how do you call it) in the corner begins

[Groovsonic]

Hey, Whats with not having 1440x900 ? I think the FP iMac is pretty popular.

I have a 17" Multi Scan Apple Diplay that i use at 1280x1024 and sometimes the sides of the picture pinch inwards, but i just turn it on and off and it goes back to the correct shape. It can go up to 1920x1200 but you have to switch to thousands of colors instead of millions. I have both it and a 17" Apple LCD, also at 1280x1024, hooked up to powermac for dual displays.

Is that ever kind of weird. Having a CRT
and an LCD as your dual monitors? I think
that owuld annoy me, but it is hard to know,
I would have to see it.

Where's the option for "I don't have a monitor, I'm jacked into my visual cortex, you insensitive clod!" :)

Most of my work is done on the lcd so it is not too bad. I have the lcd in front of me and the crt on my left. I mainly use the crt to put background programs on, and to put the menus on when i use photoshop and indesign.

[beez7777]

Yeah, i have a 17" iMac, so its 1440 x 900. i'm surprised that wasn't a choice

I second that!

[FelixDerKater]

TiBook 500MHz
1152 X 768

1024x768 on my iMac G4

I use my 1600x1200 @ 75 Hz.
My eyes ARE already nutso ;) imagine using an Amiga for many years featuring 50 Hz and you know it doesn´t matter that much anymore...

[benixau]

A PMG4 867 DP w/Sony E230 17".

I work at 1280x1024 @ 75hz. I can go to 1600x1024 @ 76hz but everything is the elongated - i thinks its a widescreen mode.

I have no problem at 75hz and i cant tell the difference bettween it and anything greater. I can though tell the difference with the Samsung 753DFx for the family which does the same res at 60hz. it hurts.

[vniow]

1152x864 on my 17" Viewsonic.

Anything above that has moire problems.

[Chaszmyr]

Whose idea was it to make this poll without the resolutions standard for many mac monitors?

1600x1024, 22'' cinema display

[Eckslusive]

I have a LCD going at 1280x1028 or something like that.
