1280x1024@85 Hz, SyncMaster 957p. Anything higher is not fitted for this 19" CRT, although it can go up to 1600x1200, but only at 60 Hz. A resolution on a non-LCD with that refresh rate is probably going to kill your eyes.
Still sufficient, found no uses for that space, other than having more room when using Firefox, OpenOffice or GIMP. I'm not too much into playing semi-current games, but I like Fallout 3 which runs at that resolution, and although you would see far less edges and polygons with more pixels, it still looks damn good on ultra high

Also, thanks for ruining my "new year's resolution" joke. >:\

Iphone and ipod touch are 480x320.
Oh.

1920x1080 on the desktop, 1440x900 on the laptop, and if/when I get my Power Mac G4 (I'm crumbling, sue me) it'll run on 1280x960 if possible. Netbook used 1024x600, and I pity anyone with an 800x480 screen.
When I find a place to use my Win98 machine, it'll use 800x600, I think. I need an ethernet card for it before I can even think of using it anymore, though.
My parents usually would set very low resolutions on their computers. When I inherited their old Compaq in 2002, I switched from 640*480 to 800*600, which I thought was a huge amount of space

I'm jealous. I really wanted an LED-backlit monitor so I have a pair of Dell G2210's @ 1680x1050. But they don't make any at that insane resolution.
I like some games at 1280x1024 because they strech to exactly 1680x1024. Unlike normal stretching, it doesn't look horribly bad at non-native resolution since it's only distorted in one dimension.

Bitmap Banned Forever Banned for being a dick on the board, in private messages, and then taking that dick-ness off the board and harassing members elsewhere for it. Time to go!

I've been thinking (not very hard), that eventually resolutions will be so high that either the screens become massive or someone develops a way to go micropixel on monitors.
Or people could just increase text size or whatever.
High DPI should be one of the next revolutions (after LCD and widescreen), considering there's already a Super Hi-Vision format at 4x the HD resolution
And that's when we're going to need some way to resize everything on screen, not just the text
Vector-based graphics will help solve that issue, although they won't really help for legacy programs. I guess when pixels get that tiny the OS will need some way to scale up an entire window seamlessly.
