What's your screen resolution? Put an end to popups!

Mine is 1600x1200.
I'm curious because a lot of the pictures in the desktop pic threads look shrunken. I suspect the most common resolution is 1280x1024.

1024x768, though my monitor can support 1280x1024, I prefer it more responsive and higher refresh rates.

I prefer being able to see more without losing detail. I consider the rattle in the upper-right corner of my screen to be a small price to pay.

1600x1200 normally and currently. Right now I'm playing around with radeonfb and... well, although my eyes are quite insensitive to monitor flicker, this 60Hz might be a little too low...

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I wish I'd thought of refresh rate when I was making the poll. I could have listed rates as seperate choices and made it multiple choice.
My refresh rate is 75Hz. I can't see any flicker, but I know it's there.

because mine's locked at an abysmal 60hz no matter where i set it, and all resolutions look equally crisp and good once you get past the occasional flicker...

While I don't notice any different refresh rates, even 50 Hz and 100 Hz look the same to me... it's either 800 or 1024. Dislike high resolutions, somehow.

I only have mine set to 1280x1024, I would go higher but the reason I have it at this resolution is for my graphic work, if I go too high, yes I get more space to work with, but it makes things appear too abnormally small.

I tried 1200X1600, but the words are just too small for me. Even with my 19" monitor. Maybe my vision is bad. I just like things easier to read.

You'd be much screwed with it. 1600x1200 it is, not vice versa.

Can't go higher (Monitor doesn't support higher), and don't want lower (Looks like hell)

My current monitor is set to 60 Hz which doesn't make any difference at all (Can't see any difference between 60 Hz and 100 Hz)
