1920 X 1200 on a 24" monitor is too fucking small.
 

Hell, I need a magnifying glass almost. :helpme

I'm on 1680x1050 on a 20 inch. Should be even smaller than yours then but it's perfectly fine with me...love it actually.

Lower your resolution. My 21 inch native rez is 1680X1050. Way too fucking small. So I have it at 1280X800.

I'm not sure why monitor makers make the natives so huge when 99% of websites are made for 1024X768 or smaller. In fact 95% are still being made for 800X600.

Huh? What did you say? I can't read the text, it's too small. :(

Try 2560x1600 on a 30". I can't live without it.

Do you people have eye problems or what?

You can't use a lower res then native on a LCD or it looks like shit. I bought a 24 inch with high hopes but only use it for gaming. Websites are about the size of playing card down the middle. What a waste.

do you have a lcd? whenever i run anything res smaller than native the text looks like crap, it's a 24" samsung

this would be perfect on a 30" monitor.

I was using dual 19's, at 1280 x 1064

going from the above to this 24" at 1920 x 1200, stuff gets smaller.

I was hoping I would gain a little realestate PLUS a little larger text than what i was used too.

I have plenty of realestate though. Way more.

No my eyesight is fine. I don't like hvang to strain to see shit because it's so small. I know of no eye problem that makes things look bigger or smaller.

Do you have to move your head around much?

Jesus, how many inches does a 640 wide banner measure out on your screen?

6 and 3/4" on this setup.


it was 7 and 3/8" on my old setup (1280x1064)

I use 1280X800 on a monitor with a native of 1680X1050 and things look just fine.

well of course. ever heard of wide screen CRT computer monitor?

Mine is a Gateway FPD2185W contrast ratio of 1000:1 and 300 nits.

Well, i'm running the same res as you and i can read gfy from a meter away without problems...

w3rd...

22" wide running 1680x1050...

Got a 19" running 1440x900 next to it...

Much prefer the 1680. So much more room to work...

i can see this fine if i get close enough, problem is when you get close enough you are moving your head and body all around because the screen is so big.

This is great for photoshop and having plenty of workspace though.

That's one reason I'm still on CRT, the native size of the pixels on LCDs is way too small. Changing to a non native resolution looks crap because it's doing things like spreading 1.8782 pixels over the physical space of 2.

I use 1600*1200 on my 20 inch LCD. First it was very small, but now I'm used to it

Perfect to me... Why go bigger to get the same number of pixels?

1920x1200 on 17' laptop... how do you like that? :pimp

I didn't say I could see anything. I say I prefer things larger. I prefer not to strain my eyes. That doesn't mean I can't see shit.

I'm not sure how you enjoy things. For example clips from sites like youtube or Kontraband would look like a postage stamp. Boy that seems fun. I play on Pogo. Those games are made for 800X600 monitors. Even at 1280X800 it's not exactly idea conditions, so I can only imagine how UN-fun it would be to play those games on 1680X1050. Wait I just tired and it sucks. I'm sorry most sites take up less than half the screen at 1680X1050 and leaves lots of empty space. Until websites catch-up with monitors I'm not using native resolutions. I might could deal with 1440X900 but for some reason it won't display at full screen.

If your desktop is too small on your lcd, set your DPI to large size. It's in advanced display settings, on the general tab.

Check with your manual because there may be a low resolution that your monitor works with. The Samsung I have has a native resolution of 1400x1050 but was also renders text perfectly at 1024x768.

I'm assuming that this is done to support lower resolutions for games since 1024x768 on my monitor is crazy but you never know ya might get lucky :)
