| 1280x1024 on both home and work but I imagine as I get older that resolution will give way to more retinal fatigue-friendly settings. |

Hammer - I'm just curious - why this resolution? It's an odd combination. I understand your vid card supports it but are you outputting to a projector or flatpanel where that custom res gives you the best edge-to-edge coverage? |

I thought it was odd too and didn't realize the combo until I saw this poll and went to look. I'm running a Dell Latitude D600 Laptop, do presentations from time to time, but am willing to adjust my settings. What do you recommend? |

If it looks good, I don't recommend changing. Screen resolution and refresh rates are very personal settigns. Whatever looks good to you is good enough for me.
I will say that the resolutions listed above for the poll are common 4x3 ratio PC settings. Better vid cards and applications allow you to "fine tune" the resolution to suit your needs. If your resolution was factory set and the fonts don't look jagged or images look a little "off" on your screen I'd leave it. If they do, a switch to 1280 x 1024 should look good.
If the res is custom for a fullscreen 16x9 ratio then I wouldn't change it. |

Thanks, since my last response I played around with a bunch of different settings, but none of them gave the clear, sharp images that my current settings do. Thanks for the info! |

600x800 That way I can sit 3 ft from the monitor and not wear my glasses!!!
Indicently, this is the first message that I have read or typed on my brand new computer. Old 17" LCD monitor, keyboard and mouse however. Got smart this t ime and labled EVERY cord/wire that plugs into the box. Used all 8 USB ports and had to find an adapter for the mouse and plug it into the mouse port.

What do you have plugged into your USB? |
|

| G. COLTON |
Plugged into my USB ports are:
* Two printers
* One Western Digital External Hard Drive
* One Iomega 20Meg Backup Drive
* One GPS interface cable
* One Digital Camera Interface Cable
* One Scanner
* One Back-Ups
I could just plug the GPS and Camera cables into a front port when needed, but simpler just to leave them plugged into rear ports permanently

| I finally got a new 1600x1200 (20.1") LCD monitor and running in the native mode. My 1280x1024 (17" LCD) is going over to my kid's computer. He's giving his 1024x768" (15" LCD) to his cousin. His cousin will have to put their 14" CRT into their closet to take up space like how we all have old computer parts everywhere in different closets.:D |
