800x600 i have a very old monitor, and if I dont use 800x600 it cant run at 100hz. And 100hz is sex to my eyes.

Currently on my desktop machine, 1024x768 as it's all this screen can handle :(

It's a killer to drop back from a higher resolution. 1280x1024 is nice. :D

The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, and prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children and the children yet unborn and the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

1280*1024 . In conjunction with my rather cut down windows theme, ie miniscule scroll bars, titlebars, title fonts etc, I get lots of screen space. Screen space is directly proportional to e-penis size :)

1280x1024x85Hz @ iiyama LS902UT 19" CRT
What I don't get though.... monitors have an aspect ratio of 4:3. Hence 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, etc. Then why does the correct resolution for 1280 horizontal pixels (1280x960) look wrong compared to the 5:4 ratio of 1280x1024, which is much more common?!? I just don't get it.
