What monitor do you have?

[D0NIMATRIX]

Just out of curiosity, what resolutions are all of your monitors?

 

[Stormrage]

1280 x 1024.. an option you skipped in the poll...

The monitor is a Philips 190C model.

 

[Bartleby]

I didn't noticed the multi-choiceness.

My laptop display is 1920*1200.

Laptop display - 15.4" high rez 1440x900 widescreen
Desktop display - 22" 1680x1050 widescreen

Sorry about that one, I knew there was one or two I was missing, but hey, it's pretty good for something I rushed in 10 minutes before school.

If a mod comes along and reads this, can he/she add the option "1280x1024", "Other. Please specify.", and any other resolutions you can think of.

Here is a list of a bunch of monitor sizes, in case that will help anybody...

Mine too and it's a ViewSonic flat-panel monitor.

Even though the default for mine is 1280 x 1024, I run it at 1024 x 768...the same as the Civ default size. When you get as old as I am, tiny fonts are hard to read...even with tri-focals.

 

[Stormrage]

But Civ looks crummy and old on 1024 X 768 on my new computer, and it looks crummy, old and tiny on 1280 x 1024.

I don`t get it. I get a new monitor and a gfx card, a new computer altogether, but now Civ visualy sucks. I reminds me more of Civ2 then of Civ3. It looked fine on the old computer, tho.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

When you play civ, disconnect your new monitor and re-connect your old one.

 

[Stormrage]

Huh.. You could have a point there. I wish I had room for both (I have a tiny room in my new house, so the desk is pretty small. The old CRT monitor used to take 70% of its surface..

Imma try it anway, thanks for the idea.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

I added the pictures you wanted in the other thread that's in your signature, so you can go look there.

And, on the subject, I have a 1440x900 widescreen hooked up to my Linux box, but I play Civ4 on my wife's machine, which is just 1024x768.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

Thanks for the edit Padma.
Never knew there was a computer talk forum.

1680*1050 Samsung SM226BW 22"

Spoiler :

Edit: Actually that must be a different version as mine is 3000:1. However it looks the same as that.

A dying 19'' LCD, 1280x1024. Time to get a new one

Your spoiler doesn't work BTW.

Yes it does

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

Not for me at least.

 

[Verge]

My desktop is 1280x1040, laptop 1920x1200.

I forgot to include my HD display, but it's 1920x1080.

 

[Zelig]

Dual monitors, a 1920x1200 LCD and a 1600x1200 (missing on the poll) CRT, so 3520x1200 total desktop space.

Thinking of replacing my monster CRT with a cheap LCD, so I'll have 3840x1200 total space.

Dang it! If a mod comes through here, could this option be added?
