    I don't know what I set my resolution for but the only arguments we have are when my little brother should get on during the day and when he shouldn't, mainly because he likes to get on during weekends/days off of school when I'm trying to sleep still.

    1200x854, because my LCD monitor has a weird native resolution.

    But widescreen is soo nice.

    1024x768 here. Sometimes I go larger, depending on what games I'm playing, etc. I used to have HUGE rows with my dad about resolution though. He's farsighted (can't see things very well up close) and likes to set resolution to 800x600 or larger...which I don't have a problem with, except he never changes it back! >.<

    I took my computer and moved clear across the country though, so now I'm the only person that uses this rig!

    I got a question. Since the highest my resolution will go is 1280 x 800, is there a program or something that could make it higher?

    I use 1280x800, which was the default resolution with my laptop and I haven't had any reason to change it. Before I got a laptop I always used 1024x768; anything below that was horrible.

    It's all based on your video card drivers and monitor. If neither of them support higher resolutions than that, then you're stuck.

    I've had mine set at 1152 x 864 since I got it, and I'm used to it too much to change it.

    Also, I have my own computer, and therefore don't have to worry about getting in arguments over it.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    I use the highest resolution available. If possible, I like to use 1600x1200, but even higher is also fine, as long as I get at least 85 Hz (unless it's an LCD screen, but LCDs that do 1600x1200 or more cost a ton :().
    Just be sure to use a 4:3 resolution on a 4:3 monitor, not a 5:4 resolution, like 1280x1024 is. 1280x960 is 4:3.

    I just checked, mine's 1280x768. at home, we use the default of 1024x768. so this looks the same to me, just the screen is wider.

    That's a widescreen resolution (15:9, or 5:3 if you want), so if your monitor is widescreen, all is well

    1280x800. Mine's a widescreen laptop.

    My parents still use 800x600 and get a little miffed when I switch it up. Largely because they don't have a clue how to turn it back. Endless fun? (Er, no.)

    My main computer has a resolution of 1280 x 1024, which is the highest that it'll go.
