I have a 23" monitor, too. You can tell which users don't have a screen 1920px long when you look at their layout.

Is it just me, or does that seem almost too big? If I watch a full-screen video I have to scoot my chair back, but if I want to read I have to lean forward... other than maybe a 24" 1920x1200 (since I like that aspect ratio more), I don't think I would want a single monitor any larger then this. My desk isn't nearly large enough for dual screens unless I put my computer on the floor or something, but my monitor supports multiple inputs though (VGA, DVI, HDMI [not sure if that's a standard feature]), so I could just hook up two of them if I ever need to and switch between them by taping "INPUT" on the front.

2048x1536 is better.

My 1280x1024 LCD monitor (barely) supports that resolution, but its only gain is for screen-recording SWFs at 1080p.

During that process I learned that Flash doesn't work right at high resolutions.

Whoops. Fixed. Cut a '9' from the end of the URL.

Anyways, I wanted a 16:10, but managed to snap this at $150. So.

Nobody's ever done a foxgirl, to my knowledge. And Disgaea's awesome, so... yeah.

I wish I had a second 1920x1080 display.

I'm running 1920x1080 + 1280x1024. It's weird. I'm sure the GeForce 9500GT could drive them...

That's what I was doing before. Having a LCD and a CRT at the same time was bugging out my eyes, I think.

I have desktop envy. This little low-end single-core laptop isn't cutting it anymore, and I don't need its portability these days. Currently, 1366*768 is my maximum supported resolution.

	Originally posted by Terra I have desktop envy. This little low-end single-core laptop isn't cutting it anymore, and I don't need its portability these days. Currently, 1366768 is my maximum* supported resolution. I have the same resolution on my laptop, although the hardware is a little better. I really miss using my 22" at 1680x1050. I'm trying to convince my wife to let me sell my laptop and build a new desktop when we get our tax returns... Especially with the new water and weather effects coming out for WoW. My laptop barely runs it on max settings as it is and I have to turn shadows down a few ticks when doing 25 man raids. Her PC runs it just fine and we spent less on it than my laptop! Originally posted by Shadic Running 1920x1080 + 1680x1050 is friggin' weird. Holy shit is that excessive. I don't think I would use a widescreen monitor as a secondary display. Maybe if I was running dual screen of the same resolution for gaming (like a flight sim or racing sim) but not for every day computing. ____________________

I might use a 4:3 monitor for my second monitor if I get one... or my old CRT TV =)

CRT TV would be a horrible decision. Trust me.

I'm using a 19" 1680x1050 screen. My dad has a 21" 1920x1080 screen. I want one...

What I really want is to have three monitors instead of just the one

I have a 27" 1920x1200 and 19" 1280x1024, both have about the same pixel size ... I kept this 19" as a second screen because I got it before the 27", and it still does fine

A second 27" would probably feel too large (or would it?), and I wouldn't switch that 19" for a similar sized widescreen ... although I'm not really using it for 4:3 either, my 27" can handle that
