Thread: Resolution resolution!

  1. #1

    Default Resolution resolution!

    So, we're currently housing an exchange student from Texas, U.S.A, and he's very funny at times. Particularly when it comes to sharing my computer, which he does when his is dead (he uses a laptop). So anyway he keeps complaining about my screen resolution! He keeps saying that it's too big and it makes his eyes bleed (I use 1280x960). I thought this was standard, but he likes to keep switching it to 1024x768! Too small! He's doing it again right now.

    So I guess the topic is...do you ever have quarrles over the home computer? And what resolution do YOU use?

    The screen resolution I use is 1280x1024. The only problems I ever had with my home computer was the fact that my brother kept going on naughty sites and it put viruses on the computer. I put an end to that though.

    I have my own computer. My husband has his own four computers, so he never touches mine.

    And my resolution is 1280x1024.

    I use 1100somethingx800something. It's a 3:4 resolution though whatever it is xD 1156x867 I think?

    I can barely see this one the way it is a lot of the time, especially the way I sit in my chair, so I'm not about to go higher xD

    1600 x 1200 for me.

    No one dares change it or lose their computer priveledges.

    I use 1024x768. This is my laptop, I got it for my birthday and I am forced to share it with my older brother. He's an ass. He always uses it longer than me and bugs me about how im always at EoFF. I wanna shove it in his face that it's mine, but I'm not like him. But whatever. I always thought he'd have to buy one when he goes to college. Apparently, he's not moving out. .__.

    i'm giving up,
    on the entire human race....

    I used to use 800x600. Cause I love it. But then I realized it was smurfing up yahoo games and stuff so I just decided to switch to 1024x768, and now it's been like that for a few months. The first couple days were horrible! But it's okay now.

    My resolution is 1024x768.

    Also, I've been quarreling with my mother (who owns the computer) about using Mozilla/Firefox instead of the Rogers Yahoo browser and about using Limewire (which is now legal in Canada.) She wants to keep the crappy Rogers browser with it's IE 6 engine, and doesn't want me to use Limewire.

    1024 * 768. Seriously, I can't think of a reason to have it any larger than that unless your a graphics designer or something.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    1280x1024@32 for me. X doesn't want to go any higher for me, but that's ok, I like this resolution.
