I would like to know what resolution you guys play your games at. It would be interesting to see what the majority of people use these days.

If you've got some weird screen resolution like 1400×1050 and aren't sure what category it goes under. THEN, A) take your best guess or calculate it if you know how.

1680 by 1050 :p Widescreen is very popular nowadays, so maybe you should have just stuck to polling for the first number.. The 1024, 1280, 1600, etc.

As I stated above there's a way to calculate it if its not there. So, 1680 * 1050 is '1764000' pixels. 1280 * 1024 is 1310720 pixels. While 1600 * 1200 is 1920000 pixels. 

So that would make 1680 * 1050 closer to the 1600 * 1200 resolution.

I guessed, and got it right. The calculator button on my keyboard is like.. Three inches from my hand right now- I'm not gonna do that crap. I don't care how many of the digits are just zeros. This is NOT a user-friendly poll! How dare you.

LOL, okay... I was only able to post 5 questions. I just posted the standard resolutions which weren't wide-screen. If you've got more questions I'll calculate it for you.

I've got a 1400 * 1050, but barely any games support this resolution. That's why I'm sticking with the 1024 * 768 even though its kind of limited in size (14" on a laptop)... ha!

Definitely time for me to get a Desktop.

1280x1024 for now.

I want to upgrade to a 24" 1920x1200 monitor at some point though.

I have a Sony 24" and I run my desktop at 1920x1200. For gaming though I usually stick to 1600x1200 just because it looks pretty much the same and may perform slightly better.

Now that I got my GTX coming to me I'll probably run everything in 1920x1200 (or is it 1920x1600 for widescreen, hell i'm not sitting in front my my home computer right now).

Yeah, every time I try and play FPSes, I'm constantly losing due to the fractions of the fractions of the fractions of a second that my monitor delays me. I never get high scores.. Damn my LCD monitor!

1280x1024 is big enough for me.  Plus higher res will need more powerful gfx card or lower settings of the game.

What's a reasonable rate for an LCD to refresh itself? I was looking for a monitor and Found one made by NEC which had a responce time of 10ms. Should I go for that? I need at least 1280* 1024.
