| | | Which resolution do you typically use?
To kick off this new forum-based poll system, I thought I'd redo the same poll that was listed on the main GameBanshee homepage earlier this week. After you vote, feel free to post a reply to this thread on why you use that particular resolution. |

| | | 1152x864, since that's the highest 4:3 resolution my CRT can handle with 75Hz. |

| | | If I'm reading this properly, I right-clicked on my desktop and hit "Nvidia Display -> Samsung Sync Master (relates to my monitor) -> Screen Resolutions and Refresh Rates."
I have it set at:
*1280 by 1024 pixels at 75 hertz.
*32 bit colour
Given my older system and my more basic video card, this is the best I can support. Plus, this is the best setting for Morrowind.
Once I know if this is what you are after, I'll vote for "other"
EDIT
I also have an LCD screen, so that likely has something to do with it as well.

| | | I'm using 1280*1024, because my 19' Acer LCD screen is optimized for that resolution...

| | | I also use 1152x864 because for me it is the best compromise between high resolution and having to search each icon with a magnifying glass *g*

| | | My desktop is at 1280x1024@85Hz, and that is the resolution I use with most games. Some games I even run at 1600x1200@85Hz.
I'm using Samsung SyncMaster 959NF 19" CRT display (recommended: 1280x1024 @85Hz, 1600x1200 @85Hz, maximum: 1920x1440 @74Hz) |

| | | 1024x i forget the rest, 1152x864, and 1280x1024 are all pretty much wut my monitor support so thats wat I usually go with, 1280x1024 makes me lag a little though.

| | | Well, I did used to use 800x600, but seeing as I was eventually able to upgrade the computer a bit I now use 1024x768.
I think I voted 800x600 on this poll at the time it was first posted. |

| | | Voted 1280x960 although its actually 1280x1024. Simply because I invested alot in a 19" monitor and supports that resolution quite comfortably, and anything under looks a bit too large. |

| | | I picked the 1024x768 one as it seems to work best for me in reading. Any higher resolution I am forced to use the "large text" option through Windows and everything just looks...odd. I may do some more tinkering around later this week with my new system though, as it will support a higher resolution that this one can and I may attempt to see whether I can alter the size of text on everything with the Theme options.
