Title: Display Resolution
Post by: Bonk on July 15, 2006, 01:04:19 pm: Just doing a little research for a project I have on the go. (I can't bring myself to put a javascript on our pages to collect the info from our users). I don't think I have done such a poll yet, I know I did one on refresh rates (http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163352038.0.html) though.

Basically I want to know if anyone is still browsing at less than 1024x768.

Don't know what your desktop resolution is? Check it here: http://www.webdoodles.org/pages/screentest.htm

I'm also curious if people use small icons in browser toolbars or turn them off or use fullscreen mode to maximise available screen area to display webpages.

I like small print

Post by: Brush Wolf on July 15, 2006, 02:48:47 pm: I use 1280 x 1024 on my 19" Sony, it is a good balance of size and naturally readable text for someone that wears bi-focals. :)

Edit: I am a small icon user.

I just modified the poll so you can change your vote (remove vote and re-vote).

Post by: Darth Sidious on July 17, 2006, 08:35:22 am: It depends on which PC i'm on.

Work: 1600x1200, FFox takes a bit over half of the screen, leaving enough open so I can keep my work queue open IAW, visible enough for me to see.

Home, docked, single screen: 1440x1050 - default res for my LCD monitor.

Home, docked, dual screen: 1680x1050 + 1440x1050. I need a bigger desk to do this effectively, but it sure looks nice.

Home, undocked: 1680x1050. FFox fulll screen due to my being lazy. Then again I'm rarely undocked; and if I am, it's usually because I'm not home, or i'm mudding while in bed.

Post by: Commander Maxillius on July 20, 2006, 06:46:29 pm: if my iBook had larger res than 1024x768 I'd use it knowing the print of 1280x1024 on a 12-inch screen would be *really* tiny.

But Sony does it on their itty bitty full-function pocket machines so I know it's possible
