What Is Your Screen Resolution?

Post by davidthefat »

Im doing a survey for personal stuff regarding programming.... Which resolution would be the best to base everything off of? Wouldn't a 32x32 sprite look tiny on a 1920x1200 while look normal on 1024x768? Of course the game should have an option to change the resolution but the aesthetics of the game will change dramatically with 2 ends of the extreme (800 x 600 vs 1920x1200)

Also I mean on your main gaming machine

1680x1050 because it's my laptop's native resolution. I hate having everything so damn small, but it looks like shit on any other res. O.o

[edit]I got a new PC, so my max resolution is 1680x1058. I change if the game requires it, or if I want my PC to run cooler and lower settings.[/edit]

I'm more of a console gamer.

Steam is making surveys about the hardware the players use.

Anyway, I have a 1680x1050 screen and a 1024x768 screen.

I use 1024x768 resolution. I change alternatively as per requirement of games. There is no problem about resolution yet. It works very well. But i am facing problem in some games which are not starting on this resolution.

So 1024x768 and 1440x900 should definitely be one of the options right?

I use 1680x1050 resolution for my screen. But, sometimes i have to change because of game. Because of game requirement. Also, some wallpaper do not display proper. So, at that time i have to change my wallpaper. But, it is a standard resolution as per my opinion.
