    I'm old and like to avoid wearing glasses. It's 800x600 on a 17" monitor for me. :) Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] Remember that in Texas, Gun Control is hitting what you aim at. [Richard Stringer] Nice sig! [Tim Deveaux on Matt Newman's sig with a quote from me]

    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.

      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.

        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.

          EGA. VGA could do 80x50 From the Churchdown Parish Magazine: "Would the Congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the Church, labelled 'For The Sick,' is for monetary donations only."

          I still remember myself learning programming in Borland Pascal and Borland C++ at this resolution. And what a big step forward from older Turbo Pascal was the syntax highlighting in the new IDE (of course, on the blue background). Those were the times... :) Rado

                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.

                                Across three identical 19" LCD monitors (1280 x 1024 on each). In fact, every computer that I use day to day from development machines through laptops to servers all run at 1280 x 1024. I find it much easier to work when I know everything will be in the same place.

                                      1600x1200 on the left, and 1280x1024 on the right.

                                        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.
