Right now I'm rocking 1400x1050 on my IBM thinkpad T40. I think its a 15" screen. 16 bit color at 60hz. Theres not really any point in going higher than that on the refresh rate.

I'm on a 1024 x 768 (16 bit) resolution on my Samsung LCD (SyncMaster 510m).

I guess LCD monitors don't function well on a resolution lower than that, do they? :rolleyes:

LG Flatron L1715S (LCD) monitor:

1280*1024 17' @ 24 bit-colour

Card: NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti 4200 w/ AGP 8X
NVIDIA Driver: 1.0-7174

Yes, 24 bit colour, NVIDIA drivers won't support more than that on Linux.

oh well...

Still get colours like 32-bit.

Well, how can I make 24-bit to appear? I only have 16-bit and 32-bit. I think 32-bit makes my Pentium 3 700 Mhz 320 MB Ram pc, slower. But 16-bit, my computer is fast. My video memory is 64 MB. Is there a tweak for Windows XP to run faster in 32-bit color mode?

At home, I'm using 1152x864x32 @ 75Hz, on Philips 107E 17" CRT

And, at work, for both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux, I use 1280x1024x32 @ 80Hz, on Xello SP1702 17" LCD...

Setting low refresh rate on high resolutions, WILL cause eye damage, can cause headaches, and stuff... Believe me, I tried :) that's why I'm a proud owner of a pair of these :lol: :rolleyes:

The lowest setting you should use on high resolutios (higher than 1024x768) is 72 Hz... 60Hz on 15" at resolution of 1400x1050.... I don't think I could read anything from scan lines :lol:

Is your computer slow in 32-bit mode? And why is everyone is using a higher resolution than 1024x768?

Notebook LCD
1024x728
Currently at 32-bit depth for colour, makes the Windows gray toolbars and stuff look slightly brownish. After reading about how 32-bit slows down many old computers (my computer's a Pentium II), I might consider changing to 16- or 24-bit.

Way! ViewSonic VG510S 15" is native 1280 x 1024.
So I think you need to give up your preconceptions.
Soon you'll be telling us that their are not 64 bit graphic engines either.

I've got 1080 x 1024 running at the moment on my 19 in monitor. I just recently got it, and am very pleased at the amount of room it has compared to my old laptop. The old reason I chose this setting, was because I was trying to find one that looked like the same size of the start menu bar along the bottom as my laptop, because I was used to it, but I have so much extra desktop space now, I love it!

1280x1024x32 on an old Sceptre 17" CRT monitor...

It's kinda tiny, but it gives me lots of room to work with when I'm doing graphics.

NOTE: But at higher resolutions, the graphics themselves are smaller, so you get less detail overall. Depends on what you're working with, I guess. Templates/splashes/touchups don't need a whole lot of detail.
