By the sound of that res he's got a dual setup, am I right?

1600x1200 on my primary, 1024x768 on the second monitor.
I scale down to 800x533px for web.

Yup, he runs dual CRTs.

I voted 1280 x 1024 as that is what I currently have (also have a laptop at 1280 x 768 as someone mentioned earlier). I can't wait to get a bigger screen though, at least 20" wide, but hopefully 24" when they come down some more.

Yes, it's a Sony FW900 24" wide screen @ 1920 x 1200 next to a SONY 21" G500 @ 1600 x 1200
Same physical height and resolution on the vertical so they match up nicely despite differing widths.

What's the appeal of a widescreen then?

A 1650 x 1050, which seems to be quite popular, is of a similar height to a 1280 x 1024, so it won't be much use for standard 1.5 ratio images. And many of the panoramic images I've seen have a far higher aspect ratio than that of the widesreens.

Viewing two apps side by side for one. In PS you can move the tool palletes out of the workspace so more real estate the better. Movies.

Interesting. Do you have images spanning across both screens? If so, then don't the frames of the monitors disrupt the images?

No, the 24" is plenty large for the images,, the 2nd screen is used fro tool bars or other open apps.

If the results are to have much meaning I think we need a poll with options that actually reflect modern resolutions.

My 17" widescreen laptop is 1920*1200 (used for editing my photos, daily surfing, email, spreadsheets etc.)

My 40" LCD TV is 1920*1080 (used for viewing/displaying my photos from my media centre PC)

Even my 6 year old 4:3 laptop is 1600*1200 (retired to the bedroom for casual surfing in bed when I'm having a lazy morning)

My 9 year old laptop is 1024*768. I don't use that at all.

My laptop is running 1440x900, and my 20" monitor (which I do all photo work on) is 1680x1050.

I use 1440x900 since that is the native res of my LCD's. I was running 1600x1200 when I had my CRT's.

1920x1200 here.

1920x1200 on a 24". And I'll never go smaller again.

Why worry? For this forum, the maximum size possible is 800px X 800px?
