    What size monitor and screen resolution do you use? Are there any sources of statistical data available? [edit] Thank you all for your replies. I realize now that I need to consider higher resolutions than I have in the past for web page layout. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. [/edit] I'm on-line therefore I am.

    1280 x 1024 on 19" crt at about 22 inches away. 1600 x 1200, about 6 inches away. Any higher than that, and I'd be inside the monitor. :) delete this; * poof! *

                1st Monitor: 1152x864 / 21in. CRT 2nd Monitor: 1024x768 / 17in. CRT I'd keep the resolution higher on the main monitor except my eye muscles have a bit of an easier time with that. And, having a higher scan rate is nice for my eyes also. The 2nd one I don't stare at nearly as much, so I tend to keep the resolution higher for its size anyway. Jeremy Falcon

                  Thank you for volunteering your relative age. I’m old also and need my glasses regardless of the resolution I set. I was going to ask about age but decided not to for fear of offending some people with the question. Thanks again for your reply. JR I'm on-line therefore I am.

                      My boss was kind enough to set me up with a dual monitor display. For the 27" LCD on my left, I'm running natively at 1920x1200 (great for Visual Studio! :)). For the smaller 21" or so LCD on my right, I'm running at 1280x1024.

                              Me too. I was always having to switch resolution if I wanted comment on my work though because most of my classmates thought the short letters were borderline unreadable. One of my classmates got a copy of the new version of TP with syntax highlighting midway through my 1st programming class in HS. Like night and day.

                                unfortunately not. The CRT's 19"(18 visible), and supports a higher resolution than the newer flatpanel. IF I could I'd probably bump them both upto 2048x1536, dunno if my laptop's capable of driving anything that high even if I had the monitors.

                                        I love showing it off :-). Wanna see it? You can catch a glimpse of it if you go to the company's spy cam[^]. (ActiveX web cam page, IE only, etc.) My office is camera 8, you can see the big 27"er in there. :cool:

                                          Actually you don't need to ask my age. :) If you check my bio, I have my birthday on it and since it was just two days ago, I will happily volunteer that I'm 52 (and loving it). :-D Chris Meech I am Canadian.
