I run 1152x864 and have been for a year or two now.

It's great. I would go 1280x768 but my monitor doesn't support that. LOL i'll get a new monitor in a few months.

I just turned my display to 800x600 to see what it was like...horrible

How could anyone use a display like that? I couldn't stand it. Everything was so... BIG..

It sucks.

Oops, i forgot to add 1280x768 on the poll :(

a mod probably won't be around to edit the poll until probably later tonight....or maybe even tomorrow

so if you run 1152 or higher, just vote 1152x864

didn't we just do this poll a few weeks ago?

Regardless, 1024x768 here at 17 inches.

Anywho, 1024x768 because my 13" generic CRT can't go any higher... then again, my graphics "card" can't handle anything past 1024x768 either...

I used 1024x768 for the longest time when I first got my computer (the 'display settings' was the first thing I changed), then I was looking for more so I went with 1280 for a while but didn't like the proportion.. now I use 1152@17"

Today I have my new pc with dual 19 in monitors set at 1152 X 864 -- YEAH!!!! :D I'm so happy to be me again :D my daughter is happy to have her system back as well of course...

1024x768 (my laptop doesn't go any higher) :(
I wish everyone used this or higher. I hate designing for 800 x 600

1024x768 on a 14" laptop display (which is basically the only choice. Any lower is all pixelated and it doesn't support anything higher).

In FreeBSD, I can run 1024x768 or even 1152x864 without eye problems, but in Windows I usually run 800x600. Anything bigger than 800x600 is too small for me. :(
