I guess it would be 1024p? not that it really matters. Things like 720p andn 1080p are usually only used for marketing or simplification

Well, 1280x1024 is a pretty low 4:3 resolution which is still supported by games today, though it is my belief that most gamers today standardize at least 1920x1080

Unfortunely i have a very small moniter and 1280x1024 is my native resolution.

A terrible one.

That's 1440p I have oneBieberfan147

It's a 4:3 aspect ratio, so it's not widescreen, like 1080p and 720p. But you can tell just from the pixel counts what kind of quality it will be comparable to. It's the same number of horizontal pixels as 720p (1280), and the vertical pixel count is just a little shy of 1080p (1024, rather than 1080). So, you could think of it as 720p, with more vertical viewing area, or as 1080p with the sides cut off. It's still a decent looking resolution, for 4:3 ratio. My roommate's got a 1280x1024 monitor currently, because he got it free and was putting the extra money toward the new system. I've played loads of high end graphics intensive games on it, and they look great. The reason I would prefer 1080p, is just because of the widescreen.

[QUOTE="Marfoo"][QUOTE="KABCOOL"] Yea thats what I thought I have one as well.KABCOOL

Sounds about right. Yeah, 1440p is a 16:9 aspect ratio at 2560x1440. Just looked on newegg, and the cheapest 1440p monitors are in the 600-700 dollar range, and bigger, nicer, brand name ones are over $1000.

Edit: Oh wait, you were saying your res is 1280x1024? That's definitely not 1440p. Nowhere near it.

Ah, 5:4. Whatever. Closer to 4:3 than it is to 16:9. :P

For me it does not have the sides cut off. I have a really small moniter.

Well yeah, it's probably pretty small if it's that resolution. My roommate's is 17 inches. What i mean though, is that it's the old-school standard TV shape, rather than the modern widescreen that's become standard for HDTVs. So, the vertical pixel count is just a couple dozen pixels shy of the vertical count of 1080p, but 1080p is wider. So, for a rough guess of the relative picture quality, it'll be similar to 1080p, if the sides were cut off, so it wasn't widescreen.
