How big is your monitor?

[Snouman88]

What how big is your monitor and what resolution are you using?

I just bought a new flat LCD screen because my old junk broke. It's a 19" and I use 1280×1024 as resolution.

[Jon]

I have a 3 year old 17 inch LCD monitor. Looks nice and works fine still.

[Warabit]

19" CRT(CRT FTW)
1280×1024
Great picture.

[emotoaster]

17'' CRT at 1024 768

Yay for old skool.

[VSh]

Which one? I have 5... no, 7. Oh, 8 - found another one. And there is my another one at parents home.

Resolutions are 1600x1200, 1280x1024, 1366X900, 1152x864, 1024x768.

I'm afraid to ask, but what is it that requires so many monitors?

Oh, I meant to add my laptop:

15" monitor @ 1024x768

oh a double monitor is the best thing ever for like working especially in graphics, you can have all your tools on one screen and the main screen for whatever you're doing. hell if i had more then one screen, I'd put Im on one and WOW on the other, :P

[VSh]

11 computers

19 inch CRT, 15.4 inch wide screen laptop.

[HSaabedra]

11 computers

What do they run?

[Haro!]

In my house the largest computer monitor is 19" used on a PowerMac and a PC. My iMac has a 15" screen (old school CRT) and my laptop is 10".
My dad has a 30" Apple display because he "couldn't see" on a regular display (at least that's how he justified his purchase to my mom) and a 17" display for his PC and a 17" iMac. Oh and his 17" laptop.

[Old Ape Face]

I want a wall Projector. :P and then play WOW on it :P

don't ask me why.

[Lord Dagoth]

17 inch ViewSonic running at 1280x1024

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...mine's a 15" monitor. just like me - small, short, but gets the job done. its all about performance.

[Crusader986]

15" CRT. It runs at 1280x1024.

[VidelCoolGirl]

My laptop screen is 13.3. I don't like big screens unless I'm designing something. Even then, I'm not a complete fan.

[hiei_kurama27]

18" crt monitor, 1280x960 resolution.

[Old Ape Face]

I don't like big screens either, but when you have enough room to fit the IM bar a post box and your contact list, and have them all resonably well to see, a big screen is your best friend

[superplough]

buggered if i know, never measured it.

[Wai-Wai]

yeah i got a 19" monitor but i want to get 2 more mabbe a large LCD tv 27" to hook up to my pretty cool computer heh thats if it can handle it LOL... so i can have my work on 1 screen, WoW on the other and watch anime on my lcd 27" at the same YAY my ultimate dream LOL XP

[Raziel_MGS]

17 inch LG, its like the thinnest most awesome LCD ever...

all my friends have like 24" LCDs, its pretty redic.

[Sendo Takeshi]

I'm sportin' the Dell 15" LCD monitor. Default 1024x768 resolution. I could use bigger for my MAME stuff when I play SFA3 online.

[Leader Desslock]

I'm currently using the same 17" monitor I've had for... I dunno... a decade? It's moved a bunch of times, but it's always been reliable and it's outlasted most of the computers to which it's been attached. Current resolution: 1024x768.

When I'm writing a lot of code, I'll have a second monitor hooked up - usually smaller, but the same resolution. I'll usually run the debugger on the smaller screen. Given the kind of coding and testing I do, I've often got more than one machine going, but I tend to run 'em all through the same monitor & input. It's easier.

[Old Ape Face]

ehe i find the 19" LCD to have it's querks for example ther's more space on it then my backyard (lie) with a reselution of 1280x1040 the only problem i can see with this reselution is the quality in the full sized images i place on my desktop background. it's hard to find good quallity images to fit the 1280x1040 scale and not look blurry, i know my computer graphics instructors tolled me never expand an image or the pixelasion will destroy it. ^_^ well that's fine for the work foce, but at home i have no choice.

So all those background images you guys post, that are big enough for me to see entirly on my moniter without shrinking it, are too small to use.

[Soluzar]

I use a 17" CRT monitor with a Trinitron tube at 1600x1200 resolution. I could never go back to using a lower resolution. This allows me to fit so much more on the screen, and it has the benefit of being genuinely 4:3 aspect ratio for viewing video.

You know i could never find a reselusion bigger then the one i had for my old 17" monitor. (which is smaller then the one i have for my 19" monitor" i don't know reselusion numbers >_<) How do you get a bigger reselusion?

I wish I could help ya, but all I did was to move the resolution slider in Display Properties as far as it would go, and 1600x1200 was the highest resolution available. Compared to other 17" monitors I've seen, this one has quite a lot of visible area, so it works pretty well.

[Spadesy]

Not that I can give anything useful to this thread, but I thought people should note that I was highly interested when my eyes crossed the words "How big is your..." and then I sighed in disappointment at the word "...monitor."

Fine. Be that way. You have no idea what you're all missing.

[SDAnimeFan]

I have a 17inch monitor

[Ikari Warrior]

My comp is plugged into my 32" LCD tv, on 1024x768 resolution. It's connected via s-video, so it can't go much bigger, and text is fairly illegible as it is. I'll be buying a VGA cable next paycheck (god I love this tv ^_^)

[Ken-Ohki]

I have an orbital relay monitor in geo synchronous orbit the size of the state of New York. :-"

[Ikari Warrior]

^not too shabby :P

[Atomusuku-sama]

Currently using my Powerbook with a 15" widescreen display @ 1280x854dpi, but what I would really like is Apple's 30" Cinema HD Display, even though I don't have a system (Mac or PC) that could handle it, but still... *drool*

[Fobb]

Every time I see this thread, I think it reads "How big is your MOTHER"

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...it's big enough. at least thats what she said...

[Scandiadream]

Mine is about 15 inches. I bought it back in 2003. The one that came with the computer I had at the moment had gone kaputt.

[Shiroiyuki]

I think mine is a 19" monitor. I use a 800 x 600 resolution ^_^. No, don't flame me....

[tenshi_a]

I'm using a 17" CRT at 1280x1024 here... if I had a better graphics card and monitor, I'd have put it higher, but then, spending more money on PC components just to have a bigger desktop is not justifible spending when there are more important things like manga and videogames out there that need buying. -_-;

At work, I use two 17" CRT monitors, both at once. About the same resolution, I think. They want us to move over to LCD monitors for energy efficency (saving the environment is big with us at the moment), but I'm not having any of that.

For one thing, I can't balance a selection of super robot gachapon figures (http://www.tenshi.org.uk/images/work_desk.jpg) on top of an LCD monitor. Secondly, LCD monitors aren't as good.

Secondly, LCD monitors aren't as good.Your first point is undeniable, but your second point is a matter for some debate. Personally I agree entirely, but a lot of people seem to have reasons to disagree. I can't stand the things, whether for TV, or for computer monitor.

[tenshi_a]

Well, at my workplace - we do web stuff - the accounts team get LCD monitors 'cos they look swish when clients visit, and they have a smaller environmental footprint. The designers get one CRT and one LCD so they can see how their designs look on both; colours tend to come out differently on LCD screens; there's a much larger risk of garishness. The developers (of which I am one) get what they're given. But we tend to try and fight for CRT monitors.

If you're going to stare at a screen all day, make it the type that hurts your eyes the least, is what I think...

[Leader Desslock]

I have an orbital relay monitor in geo synchronous orbit the size of the state of New York. :-"
The proportions of my monitor are 1 x 4 x 9. As for the resolution: "It's full of stars" :lol:

[Holy Knight]

19' monitor at 1684 x 1248 dpi, if I recall correctly (I don't have it in front of me right now, it might be a 1724 x 12xx resolution instead).

It's pretty big. If I buy anything bigger, I've been converted to the dark side of commercialism.

[{NG}Fidel]

I have a 23inch monitor and a 17 inch monitor attachted to my PC.

[Tonyx35]

I Just recently upgraded to a 19" LCD
Resolution of 1280x1024 with a 75hz refresh rate.

The 17" CRT I was using was just about dead.

[dothacker5]

Current one is a 17" flat screen at 1280x1024 at 75hz. Other is a CRT that can go 1600X1200 but I'll use both after I get my 7900. :D

[???????]

14" LCD at 1024 x 768 . Just nice. Don;t really like big screens. Even this is kind big. I need to move around and do graphic stuff, so I got a touchscreen.
