listen Sandwich, running at 1024x768 is a big step up when you're used to running at 800x600 your whole life

i'm sure in a few days i'll find this resolution too small and kick it up another few hundred pixels.

The capability is there

Yeah, I figured as much, but I couldn't resist a bit of nagging.


...just wait till you see 1600x1200!

Stealth, I don't know how your eyes are, but I find that the text is too small and I would give myself eyestrain trying to read it, I run my desktop at 1024x768 and run all games at screen res where possible, because unlike a bunch of eye candy junkies I can't tell a difference between the two visually, but my system runs tons smoother at 10x7.

When you use Photoshop and similar programs frequently, the difference between 1024x768 and 1600x1200 is HUGE.

I'm still happy with my 21" Panasonic

Indeed, the high resolution comes very handy especially when photoshopping etc.
More space to work with.

Yeah, but I don't.  What does it matter, when all I do is a little pixel/color editing with my mouse?

You know what they say about a guy with a big monitor...

He can get bigger resolutions!

True.

I am satisfied with my 17' monitor. The maximal resolution of 1280x1024 is just enough.

StarCraft Campaign Editor! Don't try to make a scenario at 640x480!
Q3Radiant and other Radiants are also good at better resolutions. There is more room for the textures. But FRED? Doesn't make difference if we disregard the tools panel.

In some ways it's harder, if you do per-pixel work....photoshop goes up to something like 1600x res, which isn't that close in at my res (1600*1200 on a 19")

This is true. Simple solution: Change the resolution.
What he stated is still true: The difference is really HUGE. Just in this case, on the negative side.
