CRTs vs LCDs

[Traianvs]

1280x1024 17 inch LCD iiyama 75hz 32bit
But I can't use my own computer too much now, my HD is crashing all the time, and when I was flashing my bios I did something wrong I think because now I can only have my ram running at 266mhz instead of 400 mhz

=> this on top of my old performance issues make my computer total crap, all the more because my HD crashes after a few minutes (sometimes half an hour or more!)
It keeps making those tikking noise that you only hear when turning off your computer (and HD )

I used 1600x1200 when I first got my 21" CRT (just because I could!), but 1280x1024 is the best compromise between lots of desktop space and actually being able to comfortably read it!

Yet another vote for 1280*1024 Jam.

Either your HD is dying, or not well connected ( happened to me I had to pull ! the plug a little to make it comfortable ).

Hmm, Spike, we can count too.

Let me toss in my 1280x1024 on a 17" CRT with 16 bit color

I know, but can you rub it in?

As my eyes aren't what they used to be, I run 1024x768 32bpp at 85hz although it can do this resolution at 100 hz and 1280x1024 at 85hz.

general use and most game use either i run 800x600 or 1024x768.
But for the real oldie games i love i occasionaly dip into 640x480 and below!
If i was a full time photoshop/power user i'd upgrade my system
And my font size is fine

This question is slightly OT (only slightly), I was wondering if someone could shed some light?

A couple of days ago I took delivery of a new laptop, I got around to installing RON, i was dissapointed to be only getting ~14- 17 FPS (on the large battles) but the more I played the game I realized I could n't see much (any) slowdown. I used to have a crappy Geforce4 MX card that played RON aound this speed on my CRT and I found the game horrible to play and had to upgrade

Do TFT's show less slowdown that CRT's somehow?

You are all going to go blind staring at those tiny fonts. Use whatever res you like, but at 1280*1024 on a 19" screen, the default font size will make you go blind.

Doc - don't use majorities to try and prove a point - remember Hitler was elected

Oh and real ultimate power users use 72pt fonts in 800*600 res

Not as far as I know... don't know how having a TFT should be able to change such...
