ActiveWin.com Poll: What is your screen resolution? | |
|
||
| Time: 00:11 EST/05:11 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

As we are busy programming and designing the long awaited new version of ActiveWin, we would like to know what screen resolution you use/prefer (for layout design purposes). Note: If your resolution is not listed, please choose the one below which is the best fit (i.e. if you have a widescreen, etc.). <%=GetPoll(97)%> | ||

| My screen res is 1024 x 1280 :-) |

| 1280x1024 here too. |

| My home pc is 1280x1024. Isn't there a web site add on that can track all of this. I think I've seen it on my friend's band's web page. It collects all the information you could want. |

That utility I was talking about can be found at

I'm at 1280x1024 also, but honestly I fail to understand the relevance of the issue. When designing a website, you have to take all resolutions into account - if you don't, you risk alienating *somebody*. So if you're designing this site for 1280x1024 users, what about those people who use lower resolutions and have to scroll left or right?
Tables will autoresize and whatnot if the site is done correctly, so honestly, I don't see the point of this poll... |

| 1024x768 here and I feel fine. |

| I'm at 1280 x 1024. So, I guess I'll skew the results and select the oddball 1280 x 960. |

| I've been looking into buying a new monitor.... My old 15" LCD is too small, i want 1280x1024. Debating between 17" or a 19". I'm disappointed I have to go to a 20" to get 1600x1200. |

| #14 I'm pretty sure activewin.com keeps up a different site for those browsing with pda's and such. |
| #11 By 6859 (12.219.23.70) at 2/14/2005 8:09:00 PM |
| 1152 x 864 @ 32-bit, 100Hz. |

#14 - Ahh, but I'm like #17... I have TWO monitors. :-)
I bought a 17" after all. LG L1720P at Best Buy which is supposed to be $330 after I get my rebates. I running in tandem with a NEC 1530V, but after having seen how incredible this LG display is compared to my 3 year old NEC... I think I'm going to go buy a second one. :-) Then it'll be 2560 x 1024! Instead of my weird 1280x1024 / 1024x768 |

Workstations are Duals at 12 over 10. Laptops are 1280 over 800
Their web can detect and record this sort of data. We see precious few people at 800 x 600 and most at 1280 over 1024 32 bit...well over 70% - in our web logs/Web Trends Enterprise V 7.x |

a question for all you 1600 x 1200 fans out there.
how in the devil can you see the damn writing on the computer screen? i've avoided high resolution lcd monitors for exactly this reason. I hope longhorn fixes this problem. |

#25, They use their noses as pointers...
I feel ya, 1280 x 1024 is all my old tired eyes can hang with. |

1280x1024 is the "oddball" resolution, not 1280x960. Most people don't realize that. 1280x960 is 4:3 (do division with a calculator to check), same as 1600x1200, 1024x768, 800x 600 and 640x480 are. 1280x1024 is actually 5:4. Using that on a 4:3 monitor (pretty much all non-widescreen moniters) means that you're squeezing the picture and, thus, distorting it. It's usually not very noticeable, but you do not want to do graphics work in 1280x1024 for that reason.
"a question for all you 1600 x 1200 fans out there. how in the devil can you see the damn writing on the computer screen?" With a large monitor. On my 21" monitor, the screen elements at 1600x1200 are no smaller than at 1280x1024 on a 17" monitor. It's not the resolution alone, but rather resolution proportional to display size that determines the size of what your eyes see.
