DarkPhoenix Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I know it's not good.. it's just that I CAN'T stand any lower resolutions. It makes me nuts trying to fit all the stuff I need into a small 1024x768 field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeFiend Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I'd vote for "not use a 17" monitor" but it's not there (too small). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAT64 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 The "correct" resolution for a 17" CRT is 1024x768 (aspect ratio 4:3), however for an LCD the "correct" resolution should be 1280x1024 (aspect ratio 5:4) because of the larger screen area.

Jeremy Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Well, I have a 19'' and I always use 1280X1024. it's what I am used to. Sheesh, anymore than that and I think my desktop icons would be too small and watching a 640X480 WMV video in full screen would make it look preeeetty bad.

mmarinello1 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 The resolution depends on the aspect ratio, but you don't need to know that much about aspects.When you adjust, drag the meter, your sttings in windows the picture of the aspect of your monitor is represented for you.You need to know what the manufacturer suggests as the "Native Resolution."For Example. a 4:3 aspect monitor best resolution will be differ from a 5:4 aspect monitor.The specs on your monitor should tell you the aspect ratio.You can use the pythagorean therom to figure out the aspect ratio.A^2+B^2=C^2 for a 4:3 sapect = 4in for 3in ht. The reason most tv's are 4:3 is the 3-4-5 number relatationship. 3^2+4^2=5^2 or 9+16=25.It is hard to tell the difference between 4:3 ratio and 5:4 ratio by just looking. These are standard screens.4:3 Aspect 9+16=25 15" A+B=1517" A+B=1719" A+B=195:4 Aspect 16+25=4115" A+B=1517" A+B=17 W= 13.375^2 + 10.75^2= 17.16 I used crude measurements. I use a 1280 X 1024 is the Native Resoultion 13.375/10.75=1.244 close to 1.23the 16:9 is HDTV standard, not necessarily widescreen standard.more mathhttp://www.andrewduncan.ws/Aspect/Aspect.htmlJust email me with your measurements, if you want clearer asnswer.There are other considerations as well. Video memory and card resolution capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 1280*960*32 @ 72HzI can't really notice the difference between 72Hz and anything higher. Go lower though, and things start to hurt after about 20 mins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
