At work I run 1600 x 1280 on three 21" (or 4800 x 1280) monitors - at home, who knows? - it’s big enough. ---

Mundane is good… pointless is better… I ran at 2048x1536 for a while… The low refresh rate got irritating though, so I’m at 1600x1200… -niggle ---

My PC is 800 x 600, I don’t know how many Hz. I do know I have a 4 MB video card, though - whatever that means. (I think it means it’s crappy.) I’m on my iMac, also 800 x 600, 95 Hz, set at millions of colors. It’ll go up to 1024 x 768 at 75 Hz, but I haven’t bothered. ---

At work: 19" Trinitron…built-in PowerBook TFT 1152 x 870 x 32bit @ 85 MHz 1024 x 768 x 32bit (startup screen)------------------(secondary screen) At home: 15" Trinitron…built-in Powerbook TFT 1024 x 768 x 32bit @ 96 MHz 1024 x 768 x 32bit (secondary screen)----------------(startup screen) I like the way it recognizes each external monitor and puts the overhead menu bar, drive icons, trash can & etc on the appropriate monitor without me having to switch any settings! At my previous job, the external monitor was to the right of where I parked the PowerBook and it knew which arrangement pattern to use whether I was at home or at work. ---
