How many pixels across and down do must of your compter screens display at in Windows?My desktop displats 800600, and my laptop displays 1024768 . The difference affects how big people can make images and trust that people can see the whole image at oncce.

I run 1280X1024 16bit high color

I run 1280x1024 32bit color ... 17" View Sonic Monitor. ;) GeForce 2 MX 32mb AGP video card. Clint

Both of my production machines run at 1280x1024 24bit. Hope this helps

I run dual 17" monitors, my main one at 1280x1024x32bpp, the secondary at 1024x768x32bpp.

got a new 19" monitor last week and still use 1024 x 768, although i could use much higher.

I'm not sure if this addresses your question, but standard resolution seems to be 800 x 600. That is, designing web pages with greater size than this will result in horizontal scrolling for most people and this is considered a big NO NO.

Running on a Dual head Matrox G400Max. Main monitor is a High End NEC 19" at 1280x1024 32bit. Second Monitor is a 17" running at 1280x960. Solo22

Bam is correct in that most websites are designed for 800 by 600. You need to remeber, however, if you are going to post images that a site like this will have columns and boarders and link areas and so for, so if you post at 800 by 600, the result may still wind up casuing people to have to scroll. BTW : 21" monitor at 1600 by 1200, Herucles GForce II Ultra, 32 bit True Color.

Just a note... I still see 640 x 480 website resolutions, and 640 x 480 is the "textbook" answer... but 800 x 600 is catching on... look at the big e commerce sites like Dell to see them still using 640 x 480 (they dont want to run a chance of losing any business just because some one had to scroll.

I don't like to scroll on most web site (horizonatlly), but Renderosity is an exception. In the galleries, I don't mind a picture that causes the right nav bar to be off of the screen (and to have to scroll to get to it). I finally bumped up from 800x600 on my main computer, and found working in Poser much easier with the increased desktop landscape... In Bryce, however the work window size is dependant on the resolution of the image that you're working on, so there is still a lot of wasted screen space... Just some thoughts about resolution

1024x768 at 16bit but could use much higher res and depth

1024, and squinting at it!

I design my websites at 800 x 600, however I have a 21" monitor and my res is set to 1280 x 960. I try to post images in the gallery that will fit on 800 x 600.

Iiyama 22" and a Quadro Pro 2 (most of the time 1280 * 960 and sometime 1600 * 1200 never more even if it's possible without problems) I agree for the web the best is to design for 800 * 600 and well, I don't think the people coming here who are for the most implied in graphic stuff are probably not really representative of the real screen population. There's still a lot of 15" running even if there probably won't be a lot here :) J-L

1024x768 32 bit color. 17" Sony HMD-A220, 3d prophet II 32 mg SDRAM ( geforce 2)

1152x864, 17" Monitor, 16MB Nvidia TNT2 BAM and the others are right, 2/3 of the visitors of my websites are using 800x600.

1024x768 rez, 24 bit color. Even though, I still build my sites for 800x600 since most people use that rez.

If you have a monitor with less than 17" ( i have one of my old computer), 800x600 is the best resolution.

21" 1152x852/32bits Matrox Millenium I-8megs

I won't take mine any higher than 800x600 and I only go that high because some of the programs I use won't work at 640x480, but if it was up to me, it wouldn't get any higher that 800x600 because I can't read my screen at anything higher than that (old eyes, doncha know smile) Kate (wiping nose prints off her screen again)

21" Mag at 1600x1024 32 bit on Nvidia GeForce2 MX The laptop runs at 800x600 32bit and my second machine is set at 1280x1024 32bit on a 17" MAG

LOLOL Kate...Ditto....I'm wondering if the rest of you have magnifiers on your eyes to read from 1200 + screens....LOLOL..I'm still at 800 on 17" monitor....:>)

Work machine, dual 21 inch Hitachi monitors, 1600x1200, Appain Geronimo dual head video card. Home machine, HP 21 inch trinitron, GeForce GTS converted to Quadro II, usually 1280x1024. 19 inch Sony at 1280x1024 on ATI for secondatry. I put together a four monitor version of the work system once, but it wasn't a productivity gain that justified 350 pounds (150kg) of video monitors on my desk. Desk was bending....

I have a NEC 17" and use 1152x864x32bpp resolution.

I use 1600x1200x32bpp on a 19" monitor with a G Force 2 64 meg card.

1024X768 on a 21" .25 dpi monitor at 32 bit color. I could go higher but why for pete's sake? I try to confine my posts to no greater then 700x650 so minimal/no scrolling is required of the viewer. -WTB

Apple studio display, CRT 1600 X 1200 . Ati video card. I can put two web pages side by side with no problems reading either one!! Gotta love these young eyes(better than 20/15 ; P )

at home: 21" KDS monitor, 1280x1024 16-bit, TNT2 Ultra video card at work: several model/brand computers with several model/brand 21" monitor, 1280x1024 24-bit, several model/brand video cards

I keep mine at 640 by 480 will go bigger just comfortable with the way it look's at that setting.

1600X1200 agp pro 7700 deluxe 64mb it is amaximum on my 21 "sony multyscan monitor 20seII but i keep it --- 1024x768

My monitor is currently kinda medium size but seems to be getting smaller over time. An upgrade to the reading glasses should solve that though. ;-) Both the 17 inch monitor my working PC and the LCD display on the laptop I'm writing on are set to 800x600. I really have to say, this isn't a slight, that Renderosity is one of the few sites I've seen where I have to pan back and forth to read messages. I have no problem with images since that's the creator's presentation. I do think though that there should be a way to set an absolute limit on the length of text lines. My 2.7 Yen.

I use 1024*768 with 16 bit high color.

1920* 1080 32-bit - 24" Sony fw900 - best...

FWIW, my work takes me to a lot of fancy offices where I see big computer screens on executive desktops and I am always AMAZED to see 20 and 22 inch monitors running at 640x480 and 800x600. It seems a lot of people think they can't read the screens at higher res. Its a hard call and I assume tha the person visiting a art site might be more inclined to use a higher res setup. mike

Well, at the moment, I'm limited by the laptop's 1024 x 768 res, which means I've moved a lot of stuff about to get a decent sized central image of about 900 x 700 (ish) though I prefer to use 1280 x 1024 (higher makes my desktop icons too small :) as you can get a 1024 x 768 render window onscreen out of that. Though I#m begging to use 3000 x 3000 window for renders these days then scrunching them down with a paint prog. I'm usually in 24bit, though even that is overkill given that the human eye can only differentiate between 50,000 colours at once. My monitor, (at home, sniff! :( is a SUN Microsytems badged Sony, (I think) 21" flatscreen, capable of 1280 x 1024 on a SUN, (because of the 8 bit sense codes) or 1600 x 1200 (and up :) with a PC, got it free, so I'm not complaining :) later jb

At home 1280x960 (19") and 1024x768 (17") At work 1600x1200 (21") [and 800x600 (15") although that computer is used mainly for company email, calendar etc] - Mark

Here's a unique thought! When disigning web pages, utilize the HTML capability to wrap text (and graphics) to whatever window size is present! What a concept! The web page designer wanting to take over my screen--that's just a power trip...

I use 1280 x 1024 on my 19" Mag, it really should be 1280 x 960 though, and it will be if I ever get around to switching to my "new" system. 1280 x 1024 is 5:4 aspect, where 4:3 is correct, thus Supermodel Vickie is probably slight thinner than intended. (She wears it well, though!) I was sort of suprized at all the guys running 16 bit color above, gee, do you know you are not seeing about 16,000,000 colors? You MUST have 24 or 32 bit color for good graphic work, otherwise you don't see all the colors in the image, get a new card, guys! I still design my Web pages for 800 x 600, though.

Two monitors: A 19" ViewSonic A90 running in 1600x1200 desktop resolution, and a 21" AOC (forget the model#), also running 1600x1200. I realize a lot of people must think 'How can you work in such tiny text?', but believe me, when you're working on websites (designed for 800x600 or 1024x768), writing reviews in Word, Watching TV in another corner, and reading over at least three other websites, you really appreciate the extra screen real estate!
