well, i am using hdmi, not dvi at the moment. couldn't be sure whether your tv handle that input differently or not. my smartv still seems to do a bit of processing while in gamemode...its not crazy, but i'm sure there are players out there who would take issue.

Three Dell monitors in a row, each of which is 1680x1050, running on two video cards under FreeBSD 10.1. I guess that makes 5040x1050.

1440 x 900 and an aux at 1024 x 768. Why all the "normal" wide resolutions that I see all the time now, like 1440 x 768, are missing and you have 2560x1440 there? :)

Hmm... Newegg doesn't show any monitors with 1440 x 768. Maybe 1368 x 768?

I mainly just included the resolutions that had over 90 results from Newegg.

Yes thanks! Thats what I meant, mind typo. 1366x768 is like the plague here. It is really hard to find another resolution on mainstream stores...

Edit: the list of W3Counter's statistics corroborates this. Didn't know that it was winning by that much :D
1 1366x768 20.80%
2 1920x1080 7.48%

1366x768 is a standard resolution for laptops

It interferes with 'You insensitive clod' jokes.

I would have liked to see an option for "depends on where I am", personally. When I'm at work, 1600x900. At home on the PC, 1680x1050 + 1024x768. Consuming media on my tablet, 2560x1600.

Oh hell no! "Other" is where all the juicy goodness comes out. The regular poll options are just a conversation starter, just something to whet your appetite ...

vertical for the win (Score: 1)

My work machine consists of a laptop with external monitor. I use the laptop screen as-is but have the monitor (1600xsomething) turned vertically, so I can see an entire page of a Word doc at a time. I keep Outlook on the small screen, and write on the vertical one - bliss (except for the fact I'm at work).

Running 1400x900 at home, which is big enough for me. I actually don't like monitors that are too big. 1400x900 is fine on my desktop, and I think I'd still be fine at 1200x768 (or whatever) on my 12" laptop, back when I was rocking a Pentium III.
