Re: [OT] Monitor madness

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

My eyes are so knackered I have to run my 21" monitor at 1152x864.

I occasionally set it higher but not often.

The younger guys in the office run their 21" monitors @ 1600 x 1200,
but then I have worked for BT longer than most of them have been
alive!!!

One thing to bear in mind is that even if you get a monitor to accept
the resolution you send it in may not be very clear if the dot size
on the monitor is close to or larger than a pixel size. Moire
patterning starts to appear making it look crap. Why not get a 19" or
21" CRT ?
