Cannot vote, as my display settings are not there:
21" Flatubed CRT 1600x1200 85Hz
 
i'm on 17" but @ 1152x864 75hz, can't stand 60hz on 1280x1024, so what should i choose?
 
19" Viewsonic VX922 1280x1024.
I would love to jump to a 24" but don't want to see my FPS go any lower than now so holding on still...
hopefully the nextgen 'GTX360' or 'HD 5870' would take care of 1920 resolution.
 
Westinghouse LVM-37w1 - 37" LCD @ 1920x1080. I checked 1920x1200. Come on Mark, no HDTV love? But seriously, I have no problems with reviews being run at 1920x1200, it just means I can expect the same settings at slightly higher performance.
 
30" Widescreen baby, yeah!!

if you could snuggle with a resolution, i'd snuggle with 2560x1600 :D
 
looks like us 24 inchers are winning out!

dell 2408wfp

wait... this isnt a competition?
 
mmm gotta love the 24" Ultrasharp Dell at 1920x1200. KO'ed my 6800OC when I bought it though. O well reason to upgrade.

the time tested g80 can handle 19x12 with ease - plus most or all visual goodies

the only game i cant throw at my native is crysis [i dont play AoC]

you dont have to wait - the new gpus from green and red are both fully capable
 
Like I said in my first post, what I am most interested in knowing is the resolution that you use, not just the physical size of the monitor.

If you care to cast your vote, and you see your resolution represented, but not the actual size of your display, please select the resolution.
 
I'm kinda surprised by all the 1080p posts too. The DVR box in my bedroom is on the 52" Aquos LC-52D64U with a cheap but silent 8500GT.

I figured the poll was asking about my main rig - hence my vote for 30" at 25x16.
 
20" widescreen in portrait mode (1050x1680). Funny how using normal landscape mode doesn't tickle my fancy anymore.
 
1920x1080 on my Sharp GP3U 32" LCD.

Considering going with a Samsung T305... any subjective opinions that 30" at 2560x1600 vs. 32" at 1920x1080 is significantly better? I think I have the horsepower to run at the higher res...
 
I have a 42 inch Plasma, the Panasonic PZ80 and game at 1920*1080 for all single player games, but at 1024*768 for multiplayer FPS like Counter strike source. The PZ80 can do a refresh rate of 85hz at that resolution which makes a huge difference for FPS games :)
 
GTFO @ results!

So many 24 inchers! I figured 1600x1200 would be the norm (probably because that's what I'm using.....)
 
1280x1024 for me and I don't intend to change anytime soon.
 
Just wow, WS is over 80% right now! Would leave you to believe that WS is the new norm. But this is an enthusiast site where most of us didn't just click a box as to which monitor we wanted when we ordered our Comps from Dell. BTW, there shoulda been a universal 1080p option for the HD crowd.

Oh, 2407 Represetin! 1920x1200 FTMFW
 
Just got a nice new Benq V2400W, so my result was as such. Been using an old 20" Sun Microsystems CRT at 1600x1200@85hz for way too long, this upgrade was so worth it :D For gaming where you sit right up with the monitor, I don't see the need for anything larger, it pretty much saturates my usable field of vision. Now I just need to finish my new build so I have a pc that can actually push 1920x1200 well :rolleyes:
 
I use a 19 inch Viewsonic CRT still (4 years old) and run my computer in 1280x1024. I run games in same resolution.
 
A 24" BenQ FP24W-Z with native res. of 1920 x 1200 but I do drop it down to 1680 x 1050 for Crysis so my 8800GTS 320 MB (soon to be replaced with a Sapphire 4870! ;o) can keep up.

I returned my 32" 1920x1080 and switched to the higher-res 30". The 32" was an impressive piece of real estate, but I really noticed the lack of pixels when using it as a desktop monitor.
 
Running dual 17" LCDs @ 1280x1024 each. Next screen will probably be a 24" - and I'll hopfully have all 3 screens setup and running :)
