I was just wondering...At what Screen Resolution are most of you running off of? And what size Monitor? I Personally Have a 19" E900+ NEC Monitor Running at 1280x1024. Is that pretty much a standard resolution for graphic work...or are u guys running at even higher res? (im full of questions tonight..hehehe)

i have a laptop with a 15 inch display, (same as a 17 inch monitor) and run at 1024x768 32 bit...

heya; i have 800x600... but just got a 19" may try the higher rez. and... well, i'm picky, but i wont run a vertical refresh rate lower than 85hz (or mhz, whatever it is). im paranoid about messing up my eyes. :)

17" 1024x768 with super small fonts. I like to see how much damage my eyes will take ... (joke) Clint

#1: 17" that I alternate between 1280x1024 and 1024x768 (depends on which app or game I'm goofing around in) #2: Laptop w/15" (works out to that anyway) at 800x600... That and a pile of blank sketch books handy with lots of pre-sharpened pencils!

Sony 500PS 21" with VX1 @1280x1024 32bit refresh @100.... but I am still working the kinks out, I recently had to step down the hardware excelleration a notch, because my cursor was having an identity crisis. The VX1 has its own display manager, which adds more variables to error tracking. Anson

I'm running dual monitors. Not so much useful for Poser, but I couldn't get by with one monitor when I use Adobe Golive. The second "Pallette" monitor is also handy with Photoshop. Primary: Sony 200ES (17") at 1024x768, 70Hz Secondary: Apple Multiscan 15" at 832x624, 75Hz. I switch my primary to 640x480, 60Hz simulscan when "printing to video", at which time I suppose I have 3 active monitors - adding a 21" Panasonic NTSC monitor. I hope to buy a 19" soon, and run the 17" as my secondary. What do folks here think about Viewsonic? I've got a 17" Viewsonic at work. Don't like it as much as my Sony, but it isn't bad. The Viewsonic 19" is cheaper than the equivalent Sony. -ScottK

I'm surprized because if I'm not mistaken the Viewsonic uses a Sony Trinitron screen. It's been a couple years since I was in hardware sales so I could be mistaken. It might have to do with which model you have. I've always thought that Viewsonic was a cheaper way to get a Sony monitor. Let me know what you guys know. I'm out of the loop. Peace Boni

Boni: The viewsonic does use a trinitron tube. It's mostly the controls and the auto-power sensing on the Viewsonic that cause it to lose points with me. The monitor goes into sleep mode when I reboot, and 3 times out of 4 I need to cycle the power on the monitor to get it to wake up. Minor things, I know... -ScottK

I have a ViewSonic 21", running at 1600x1200, 75Hz, 16 bit color. Nice screen, too. 75Hz is a bit low, I'd prefer 85, but that's the limit for this model at this resolution. I wish it was bigger still, and as soon as there is a 24" screen on the market at an acceptable price that I can do 2048x1536 on, I'll get it. I'm a multimedia producer with my own company, so it's a cost for the firm, not really out of my own pocket so to speak. Otherwise I'd be happy with 19" or 20" for sure. As it is, I sit in front of the thing all day long, so picture quality and the ability to see a lot of info all at once are critical to my effectiveness at working. Ever tried doing a complex production in Director, Photoshop, Sound Forge and After Effects on a small screen? (not all at the same time, of course) All those menus, drives you crazy.... Those apps I do for work, Poser I do for fun. And a lot of fun it is! I do my productions for 800x600 at 16 bit, as that is about the lowest common denominator these days. Used to 640x480 until recently. Laptop screens have improved. Many graphics people work in 1280x1024 or thereabouts, a lot of 3D pros in 1600x1200 or thereabouts. Trouble with 1280x1024 is that it's not a correct 4:3 ratio, so everything tends to look a bit squashed. You need to be careful about that! :]FishNose

LOL, I've got a 14-inch at 800x600...still gets the job done. ;) SnowS
