1280x1024 @ 19" (Native resolution for my LCD monitor) My monitor is honestly the sharpest most vivid screen i've ever seen. (Hyundai Imagequest L90D+ 19" (8ms response!))

No dead pixeles either!

It's a beautiful screen. The screen alone is still selling alone for close to
$1000.

It's Ultra-XGA (uxga). Sometimes when my eyes get tired. I have to
bring it back to 1280x1024 ..

You are safe developing for 800x600 and above. I still have a few users that use it (for eyesight purposes - I am getting there myself

), so I code for usability at 800x600 and optimal viewing at 1024x768. This covers about 99.9% of users - most using the larger size.

Forget about 640x480. If you lose a customer because of it, that would be good news actually, because it means you have already sold a million copies of your software before you found that guy!

BTW, your audience with this poll probably has much better equipment than the average user, so unless your target market is programmers/professional programmers (I'll start another poll to answer this), I don't know how useful it will be.

Cheers.

Just like a guy who was going to design a pocket pen holder for the average joe and he went to ask nerdies about how many pens they usualy wear on their pocket.. hello!!

I was just wondering that same exact thing! I think they were some of the oldie guys over here, trying to make the poll results less reliable ¬¬

(Not me AT ALL.. Bigger than 640x480).

Yeah - I'm curious too!!

Who are the two guys or gals that run a Desktop 640x480 or lower?!?! AND why are you running that resolution?

At the time counter-strike was popular, many ran in that resolution on big screens because the enemies would fill more

Maybe some of them got so hooked up on large things that they kept the resolutions
