 |

Here's a question: What screen resolution do you use? I won't create a poll since it depends on the monitor as to what your options are...
Me, personally... I'm using 1152 by 864. |

Screen resolution doesn't have much to do with the monitor you're using. It's mostly what graphicscard you're using.
I use the highest resolution I have... 1280 by 1024 pixels.

Actually, you are wrong there. A lot of older monitors dont support abover 800 x 600, or if you are lucky, 1024 x 768.
In my experience, new 15" TFT monitors will support up to 1024 x 768, 17" and bigger will support higher. My laptop is 15" and only goes up to 1024 x 768.
I use 1024 x 768 because I design my websites for this resolution. It is also the most popular resolution at the moment but it slowly being taken over by 1152 x 864 and 1280 x 1024.

My new laptop is only able to support 1024 * 768, and I still use this as my resolution of choice on my desktop computer.

I did up until a few days ago. We got the electricity bill and it had doubled! So I'm cutting back on everything I can.
I did run triple monitors at one point. I have a picture somewhere. Ill edit this post when I find it.
EDIT: Here it is:

wow three, I don't think my eyes could handle that...lol.. I run two because I enjoy using them while I'm scripting, big help not having to switch from one thing to the other and back again.

Well the monitor on the far left is actually a TV, so its resolution is poor and its only good for watching movies on it or putting my winamp visualisations on it. The other two were used for general things, like scripting, but also watching films when I couldn't be bothered turning round to see the TV.
It was simple to do. My graphics card supports 2 outputs. Normal monitor output and a composite output. Then for the other monitor I used the onboard graphics.

I suppose if your refering to the tv as a monitor than I also have 3 monitors, though the only time I use the tv is when I'm watching video's or Movies, on a regulare basis I just use the Two mostly.
