What resolution is your monitor?

[Solver]

It really depends on the monitior... for old 14" monitors, and usually 15" monitors 800x600 is the best resolution. For 17" monitors, though, 1024x768 is the best. On a 17" under 1024, things look almost as big as on a 15" 800, and are easy to read, still more fits on the screen.

So, whenever I get to a 17" monitor, I use 1024x768 there. At home, I got an 8 years old monitor, which proudly wears 800x600.

Oh, and I'm really happy to be immune to the monitor refresh rate. That is, I really see NO different between 60 and 85 Hz - I see that many people can tell if monitor is on 60 Hz rate, I just don't see the difference.

1024 x 768
I really like this, at work I run 800 x 600 I believe and it looks horrible, the icons are huge and I have to scroll back and forth on many websites....

1024x768 is best for 15". Unless you have a bad sight.

80 Mz is *barely* acceptable to me, personally. Unfortunatley, I'm quite susceptible to it .

75 Hz is enough for me, but I also choke on 60 Hz...

Weird... can anyone tell me what do you see on a 60 Hz monitor? To me, it looks the same... I have to go to Display settings to find out the refresh rate...
