What monitor do you use

[Mr Darcy]

In the interests of planning photo sizes for display on this forum, I am interested in what size monitors ( in pixels) are in common use.

If you are not worried by having to scroll the image on a particular monitor or if you only use it for travelling & are not too worried about quality, don't list it, but if you use it regularly please do. For example I usually use my desktop and laptop, but occasionally also use my smartphone, but I am not particularly worried about size on the latter.

I have allowed for up to three monitor sizes for each voter

I think I have covered the most common sizes. If I missed yours. I am sorry. Just choose the nearest that you think is most relevant. e.g. if you use 1024 x 600 & are bothered by scrolling vertically choose 800 x 600, If scrolling vertically does not bother you, choose 1024 x 768

My screen is 2560x1600, so I got to check "bigger"

I also sometimes use my 13" laptop screen, which is 1440x900, but that wasn't on the list…

Cheers
Steffen.

Mine wasn't on the list either, so I picked something close.

I am using a legacy size 1680x1050.

I reckon some of these wide screen standards are not so good at displaying pictures at 3:2. Seems to be made for watching movies.

Im still stuck with small screens.....no room on my desk for anything bigger at the moment...just an old 17" Acer LCD.

I have three monitors. My main one is 1920x1200, my second is 1600x1200 and my laptop is 1920x1080. I just checked 1920x1200 because I don't use my secondary monitor much for viewing images. I think a 1024x1024 image standard would be good if Gary can get it to happen.

Pretty classy. I selected my monitor size and forum expanded to fill my monitor. Nice work.

And my fingers never even left my hands.

I wonder who is using a less than 800X600 display? Maybe it's a hacked portable DVD player as a screen ???

My Galaxy Note review unit is smaller, and there are times when I access the forum from it.

Yes but the poll wasn't for all devices you sometime access the forum from (otherwise you could include something stupid like a 50 pixel wide feature phone) - it was for the display you regularly use to access the forum.

[Mr Darcy]

DOn't sweat it Rodney. The purpose of this poll was to work out if going to a larger photo would cause problems for any users. Gary has gone ahead anyway so the poll is really redundant. (And I suspect Gary uses his mini display more than a lot of users use their regular monitors for browsing the forum)

Actually the Galaxy Note has quiet a high res screen....1280x800
