Screen Resolution
Tuesday, July 31, 2001 by DaWebMassa | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I used to run at the ever popular 1024x768. Now that I've moved up in the world and purchased a nice large monitor, I'm working on a Solace in Blue DX theme. However, I have a question... Are more of you using 1280x960 or 1280x1024?

Roach! What it be dude!? 
I has been takin me a break from skin stuff fo' a while. I be's back now doh and I sees you be too.
FoF... know all about it, same with me.
AJ: 1600x1200 on a 19"? What do you have, superman vision?
Geez, even after asking this, I still don't feel comfy doing stuff at 1280x1024 due to the aspect ratio thing. At least if I stick with a common aspect ratio, resizing themes only involves resizing the objects without having to be concerned with aspect. I work mostly in raster so it's not that easy to change.

Heh, 1600 x 1200 on a 19" is perfectly normal. It just takes some getting used to but provided you have a decent monitor and soundcard it's great. I personally run at 1600 x 1200 on a 15" LCD (laptop) and it looks great. Everything is really crisp and readable. For print design (working with images of ridiculous resolution) 1600 x 1200 is a must.

The eye strain is an issue, I would be jumping off the walls if I could run 1600x1200, but I am currently on 17 inch monitors on all three systems and my eyes cannot handle anything above 1280x1024, The eye strain is slightly still there, but the work space is more important, and you are right, when working on printed material or large scale prints you need that work space. Also a few microscopes help.

My head's at 20 cm of the screen anyway, baking in the radiation, so 1600x1200 on a 17" is no problem for me. I'd put it even higher if my monitor could handle that.
