I was just wondering what screen res. people are using now that OS X is here.



In 9 i used 1024x768, but with X i find i like 1152x870, though 1024x768 is still usable...anything less I couldn't use though.

    1152 * 870 on 17 inch CRT

    I used to have 1024 per 768 under Classic, but 1152 per 870 is better on mac OS X.

    1600x1024 on an SGI 1600SW widescreen LCD, and I've got an SGI 17" CRT sitting next to it that runs at 1280x960.

    I don't know how anyone can stand running 1280x1024 on a CRT. It isn't a true 4:3 ratio and it makes everything look "fat".



    Yuck.

    1280x1024 Samsung 17" LCD (native)



    Geez when I was using a 17" CRT I had it on 1280x1024, anything smaller was too small. My vision has gotten worse since then

    I don't follow, murbot. :confused: Every CRT I've ever used that was using 1280x1024 made the picture look distorted. Relative to the more common 4:3 ratios such as 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, and 1600x1200, that one resolution of 1280x1024 made the graphics appear shorter vertically. This was especially noticeable in text and page layouts. Maybe the technology has changed in the past year alone? Note that I'm not talking about LCDs.

    I run my 19" CRT in 1280*1024 because it has only there 85 Hz refresh rate. anything higher or lower has 75 Hz. makes MEOEOEWWWW to your Eyes.
