How big is your Computer Monitor's Screen? - What's its Resolution, etc.?
May 19, 2009 at 9:02 AM Post #106 of 129
My main PC is my Acer Aspire One 10" which has a whopping 1024x600 resolution. Generally works for what I need. Too bad an increasing number of web sites are starting to ignore both older computers and netbooks and require horizontal scrolling (which is absurd since 1024 pixels is a lot of horizontal space) or display elements that refuse to scroll but also require more than 500 pixels of vertical space so buttons or options can't be accessed. The former is my biggest complaint, though, since I run into it far too often.

I have an old Westinghouse 19" LCD with a 1440x900 resolution. No dead or stuck pixels and has always worked reliably, despite being a cheap monitor at the time. Has pretty good image quality too.

My Apple iBook G4 has a 12" 1024x768 display that can be described as simply poor. Sure, no stuck or dead pixels, but it is very washed-out looking and rather dim.

15.4" laptop. I think laptops are made to be portable so I like this screen size. Still capable for all my gaming needs.

For movies, I connect to a 32" HDTV, it's resolution is 1920 X something.

For my main set-up I have a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW (22") running at 1680x1050 resolution, with a 2ms response time, running at 60hrz refresh rate, with a 3,000:1 contrast ratio.

This set up is also connected to my TV, which is a 30" Samsung CRT HDTV running at 1080i. My old computer downstairs is connected to a 19" Dell CRT running at 1600x1200 (with a 75hrz refresh rate I think).

I use a macbook pro that is 15.4 inches running at 1440x1080. For every day use my macbook is hooked up to a 23 inch samsung HD monitor that runs at 19XXx1080 I forgot the last 2 digits of the res, I'll check when I get home. For giggles my mac also hooks up to a 32 inch 720p LCD TV sometimes. I don't do that often though, it never quite runs as nicely as a smaller screen.

The image is directly transferred to my brain, in the highest quality you can imagine. I use no screen!
