I run two monitors, both 18" at 1280x1024, one flat the other
an older Hitachi with great resolution. If only my eyes
were good enough I could jack them on up. Love the extra
space! VC on the right, debug on the left, and application
running beside debug output. Its hard to image going back
to one monitor!

I totally agree. I cant imagine working with one screen.
Except for a laptop ofcourse, but luckilly my laptop has a 1920x1200 widescreen tft, so this is also acceptable

So there are more than 2 millions user in CP, and only 2000 of them vote the polls. 0.1 percent!!!
Polls are so amusing...

There could be a few reasons:
Many of those 2 mil people probably don't read the site regularly, but rather just visit when they need something.
Screen resolutions may not be that interesting to many people. People tend to participate in subjects they are interested in, or stuff they feel strongly about like VB vs C++.
If you want to observe interesting polling habits have a look at slashdots[^] polls.

The poll is the last thing on the home page, so most people may not scroll down to it.
I hardly ever see it because my links to code project are different pages.
Do all the members receive the email with the polls?

I have always needed much room for all my windows. The more space, the better. And since I don't mind having tiny pixels, I am really happy with my IBM T221 display, which is about 24" at 3840x2400; that's 200dpi . Wonderful beast. It's just a shame IBM/Leonovo discontinued it  .
And I use a medical EIZO Display as my secondary monitor (2048x1536 in monochrome).

Thanks for that. No, really. I'm not jealous at all.

Well it's not as nice as 3840X2400 ... however my system uses a dual head vidoe card and with two monitors it gives me
3600 x 1200.
If I add the other two monitors it can do 3600 X 2400 over a four screen arrangement or 7200 x 1200 !

I think, it is time to stop web page and application optimisations for 800 X 600 screen.
Why computer people alone have to support the "weakest" person ? Other media like television (more popular than computer) are not supporting small screens.

|
|
Well, some people use handheld PCs to browse the web.
|
|
|
|
|
So the website should manage different devices with different settings...

It's time to stop web page optimization for specific resolutions. Not everyone surfs in maximized windows.
Try not to hardcode any width in web pages, CSS gives you much better ways to control the layout.

Well, not so sure abut stopping support for lower resolutions.
While its true that most people find it more productive to put more stuff on their screen, I know of at least a couple of people where I work who only feel comfortable with their 17" CRT screen set to 800x600.A anything else and they complain that everthing is too small to see properly.
What they actually need is large pixel size, and to increase their 800x600 resolution while retainin the same pixel size, they would need, at 1024x768, a 21" screen, and at 1280x1024 a whooping 26"...
So not catering for 800x600 would leave a lot of people in difficulty: even if this poll is representative and there are only 3% of people still using 800x600, that's still about 30 millions users if we only consider the total number of internet users (see this stat).

I hate fullscreen browser windows.
Consequently I think web page should be optimised for 800x900 resolution, which the size of my browser window!

I code in in 1600x1200 on the right and on the left I do research and document reading at 1024 x 768 both on 19" monitors.
In the zen of programming their can only be one master

I have a widescreen laptop I do all my work on so I am usually working at 1440x900 resolution!

Hi,
I like to work with the maximum.
I work, at work, Dell laptop, with 1600 x 1200 and I love it. At home 1152 because I can't more.
Now I want to change my laptop, and I want something like 1920x1200, but I'm not sure. I am 40 years old, and it seems to me that my eyes are not the equals than years ago.
Are someone with same problem..........
Bye.

Hi,
If you getting older you do not need more resolution, you need lager pixel. I love my Samsung SyncMaster 275T plus.

Dual monitors are great, but 4 monitors are even better. I've been using 4 monitors for development for a couple of years now and feel absudly cramped without them. The config is 2 1024x768 and 2 1280x1024. In my view it's one of the cheapest productivity boosters you can get -my Dell already had a dual-head Matrox card in so I bought another Matrox PCI double-head card for about £80 ($140). Adequate TFT monitors are now available from £130 ($230), so the cost of going from dual to quad is - in very rough terms - 45p (80 cents) per day over three years.
All you have to do is convince your boss/financial director that your productivity will increase more than $1 a day.

I use dual monitors, both of them having resolution of 1024x768; means i am effictively working on 2048x786 resolution.
PS: and that too because me TFT monitor doesent supports higher resolution. I'd love to work on higher resolutions!!!

Dual flatscreens, 1600x1200 each. Everyone else in the office is still wondering what I did to get them =)

Currently i'm using 1280 at home, but I dream of having one of them uber huge ones at work I have 2 computers instead of dual monitors I run WS_FTP on one (with 3D renders going on in the background) and dreamweaver, flash, photoshop on my other. Our Non-linear editor with dual processors has dual 21'' CRT monitors. Its awesome.
