I'm curious, what are your monitor resolutions, the type? What? Not only am I curious, but it can help me (Any anyone that votes) create images that are the proper size to be viewed 'nicely'

I'm running dual 23" 16:9 2048x1152 Samsungs.
Things I've noticed: -16:9 is too damn wide for reading a PDF one page at a time, websites look goofy. However, two websites/PDFs side-by-side work well. -16:9 is awesome for movies, haven't had any ratio problems from games. -Higher then 1080p res makes for up-scaling of EVERYTHING. I'd personally suggest duals, possibly a 16:9 primary for movies/games and a 16:9 (possibly 16:10) portrait secondary for documents and websites. |

Once I help "pay off" my dad with some work he said he'd purchase the next item on my list, which is either a bigger hard drive or a widescreen monitor.

1920x1200 (16:10) primary, 1360x768 (16:9) secondary
Primary has a built-in pivot point so it can go portrait when needed. Secondary is a TV and the disparity in resolutions / physical display size sometimes rakes up annoyances. Despite that, Youtube et al. thrown full-screen onto the TV looks good from a distance. @Kirby: You into flight simulators? ;D j/k |

2x Acer 27" monitors primary is centered in front of me with secondary to my right.
Both set to 2048x1152, largest that I have found that are still 16:9 beyond that they start to go 16:10. Usually need two graphic cards for large displays to appropriately play games at native resolution. Few games support 2 monitors at the same time. When they do its fun, Supreme Commander 1&2! Hek - if a web-page is built properly it can handle any resolution... stop going to shitty sites  , as for pdfs you do have to kind of re size them often but you will find ctl+scroll wheel is 1337. I often use it for doing research for table top games that I have pdfs for.

1 23'' Asus monitor at 1920x1080. I actually have a TV sitting right behind it that could be used as a secondary monitor, but I'm too lazy to set it up, and it would make my desk really crowded.

Acer PoS (Don't know the official name but to put this into perspective, but you could hide my monitor under my keyboard.)
FOUND IT! Acer X163w 16 Inch Widescreen Moniter On a related note, the maximum resolution it displays is 1366 by 768 (And that's the resolution I use...) |

I have a 24' 1080 main monitor and a little 17' 1280x1024 as an auxiliary display for emails and playing the occasional 4:3 game.

Single 24" Acer H243H. More than enough monitor for me.
<+Karrde> welp, time to learn some basic patterning skills <@Negate> 12121212121212121212 <@Negate> there is a simple pattern <+Karrde> I changed my mind. Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD <+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself <+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some. |
