Does anyone with a 1920x1200 screen run at that rez?

Question

I know I had to bump mine down to 1280x800. Native res at 1920x1200 on a 15' screen is nearly impossible. I'm wondering does anyone use 1920x1200? Do you have 40/20 vision :)?

I have a couple friends that run at that. I would too, but couldn't afford the screen. I have 20/900 vision (20/20 corrected :))

I run at 1920 x 1200. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Except a higher resolution.... and supposedly, my vision is terrible.

I do and i would do 2048x1536 if i could, i hope higher resolution lcd's will come out, im glad dell has high res LCD's my vision is pretty bad but i can only not see well far away, so on screens its fine even when i need to update my perscription, last time i think my perscription was -4.25 or something diopters im not sure what that is in 20/x, also on my 22 inch CRT i run at 2560x1920 which is smaller than 1920x1200 on the laptop, and i can read it fine.

You couldn't afford the UXGA? yet you could pay the premium for the DVD+RW and the 1.8 GHz cpu?

1920x1200 is just too small for comfort for me. I guess I'm used to my desktop's 1280x1024 LCD. An upside of the high res screen, even when running at lower res, the screen's physical pixel density is so high you can't see any of them.

I know there are some super high res (ballpark 11050x8500) 22" LCD screens out there but they are also very expensive ($8000) and you need a special video card to drive them.

I run it happily and like the 'real estate'. Friends take one look and say it's too small because they are used to 1024X768. I look at their monitors & wonder how they get by with so little space on them. It's what you get used to I guess....

11050x8500? highest i know of are 3800x2400 from viewsonic and IBM, and they go for about $6k

i will always trade up for a higher resolution.  1920x1200 is still to low of a res for me.

Of course, that is why i bought mine. Of course people look at me strange and ask me how i can read it.
