    Hey everyone. I want to do a little survey to see who's using what resolution on their computers. So if you can answer these two questions that would be great =).


    1. What is your native resolution?

    2. If you are using the native, just say same, but if you changed it to something lower because the fonts are too small state the new resolution you have it set on.

    3. What brand of computer do you have?

    Thanks.

    Isn't 1920x1200 a little high? My native resolution is that, but I dropped mine down around 1650 or so. Did you do anything to your font size to make it larger?

    Had to adjust font size to make things a little more readable, but I love this resolution. I really can use this much screen real estate.
