What resolution monitor do you use?

I'm looknig into a new monitor and there seems to be quite a big price gap between 1920 x 1200 and 1920 x 1080. So I was wondering which resolution monitor do you use?

1920x1080.

Also what kind of size monitors do you have?

At the moment I have a 1680 x 1050 monitor, do you think that there's much ofa difference between that and 1920 * 1080? The difference in pixels is 309600

While the difference between 1920x1200 and 1920x1080 is negligible and not even noticeable by the human eye on average, the difference between 1920x1080 and 1680x1050 is substantial and quite noticeable.

Doesn't it strain your eyes sitting infront of a 24" monitor?

I use 1680X1050 and the only reason I went a little smaller at the time...I'm afraid as the system ages (like 6 mos from now) games will be harder and harder to run on a resolution that is too high. If you're prepared for upgrading quicker than go with the highest resolution you can get. I would say you definitely want to go with Widescreen though.

No it doesn't. It isnt that shiny that i need to wear sun glasses 8) lol but if you are sitting in a completely dark room than yeah.

Just make sure you are in a room with light either natural or artificial ;)

I've done some thinking and seen as though all of the 1920 * 1200 monitors that I can find are 24 inch and therefore the pixel density will decrease compared to a 22 inch 1080p screen anyway and because of the lower cost I think that I will go with a 1080p 22 " screen such as this. Thanks for all of your advice :)

I need a widescreen monitor, was tempted on getting a LG Flatron but I am planning on getting a new TV and knowing my wife Im pretty sure she's going to want something drasticaly bigger/better than what we have now meaning that im looking at wasting £800+ on a TV that I dont even use, apparently consoles in the living room make me look childish infront of her posh uni friends.
