Your Monitor?

[DragonEkarus]

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 have no desk space for more than one monitor at the moment

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.

=(


Right now, this is my layout.


         Primary PC                    2nd PC
|| Secondary | Primary || Primary | Secondary ||



Both on Primary are 1920x1080 23"

Second PC has paired 21" @ 1600x1200

Then I have a laptop on both sides of those 4 monitors.

I'm out of desk space. :-\

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.

||    Primary    ||||  Secondary  || |Netbook|
  [  Keyboard  ][mouse 1] [mouse 2]

Primary: 20-ish inch Samsung LCD TV 1680x1050
Secondary: Sony Vaio monitor 1280x1024
Netbook: 10.2in with some weird resolution

It's not ideal, but it works for me.

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.

Do it.

I have never gone back.

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...)

You all got great monitors meanwhile I've got a dinky 16 inch Pos... I gotta get a bloody job...

[shoopfox]

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.
