Post by: uncharted on July 01, 2007, 01:29:21 PM: Back when I was Amiga only I was using DBL with max overscan (which I think works out something like 720x560)

Now I use 1024x768 on both my eMac and my two laptops (iBook + Dell monstrosity). It appears that this is getting to be the minimum for most web pages now.

Post by: cv643d on July 01, 2007, 01:51:06 PM: I like to browse in the maxiumum screen resolution, but the browser is rarely maxed in size. Thats the beauty of new-school >23 inch monitors, you can have a large browser open and plenty of space left for music players and IM's.

Post by: billt on July 01, 2007, 06:12:12 PM: Depends on what computer I'm using. My ibook is 1024x768. My PC is 1680x1050. My Sun at work is some weird 1152x900 or something like that, the highest res it has enough memory to do 24bit in.
Title: Re: What Screen Resolution do you use for internet surfing?
Post by: LaserBack on July 01, 2007, 06:20:54 PM: ideal resolution used for surfing also depends of the monitor used cause some monitors are blurry at certain resolutions

Im using now a NEC multysinc 22 aperture grille crt monitor and the manual says 1600x1200/85hz ideal however I use 1152x864/85hz or 1280x960/85hz

I have discovery that the most high refresh rates= +blurry image and the most low refresh rates= +sharpen images however on low refresh rates you will get + flicker...so you must found the best intermediate point

Title: Re: What Screen Resolution do you use for internet surfing?
Post by: Agafaster on July 02, 2007, 11:15:56 AM: 1024x768 at home on the AmigaOne (thats the best me 15" CRT will do)
800x600 modified Super72 on the A1200 when I had the AT M1438S multisync monitor - likely now to be one of the DBLs or VGA.
1280x1024 at work - thats the size my 17" TFT is happiest with.
Title: Re: What Screen Resolution do you use for internet surfing?
Post by: analogkid on July 02, 2007, 11:48:36 AM: I'm using 1280x1024 on all systems
Title: Re: What Screen Resolution do you use for internet surfing?
Post by: zylesea on July 02, 2007, 01:17:28 PM: 1024x768 (Opera, laptop) and 1280x1024 (AWEB, Pegasos). On TFTs I only use native resolutions whenever text is displayed. Everything else looks like crap.
Title: Re: What Screen Resolution do you use for internet surfing?
Post by: JimS on July 02, 2007, 02:24:20 PM: I'd prefer 1600x1200, but monitors and eyes limit me to 1024x768. ;-) I do have two monitors, so I usually have two browser windows so I can be reading one while the other loads over my slow connection.
Title: Re: What Screen Resolution do you use for internet surfing?
Post by: clemenza on July 02, 2007, 02:58:40 PM: I use 1024x768 on both my Amigas (A4000D, A1200T) - it's very nice to have some RTG boards! On my PC I use 1440x900 (widescreen TFT).
Title: Re: What Screen Resolution do you use for internet surfing?
Post by: SamuraiCrow on July 02, 2007, 03:20:45 PM: 1024x768 on my desktop PC, 1280x800 wide-screen on my laptop. My MicroA1-c uses 1024x768, and my A1200 used 640x400 NTSC back when I used it as my primary system.
