1600x1200 on dual 21" monitors, also 1600x1200 on my laptop.

1600x1200 Laptop? Nice.

For me it's just 1280x1024, on a 18.2" LCD. I think I need an external monitor(how many times have I seen that on this forum?). But TV sets are just big and bulky, or else they are LCD and expensive. So far, don't have the room for a regular set or the $ for an LCD. :(

On my desktop 1600x1200 on a 21.3" LCD (Samsung 213t)
1700x1024 widescreen on my Toshiba P25 series laptop

*1600x1200 UXGA is standard on the Sony GR/X series laptops. I had a GRX series before my Toshiba. IMO, 1600x1200 is a bit extreme for a 16" screen- everything is TINY. 1600x1200 is better suited for 20" and above.

1600x1200 on my comp. However, I have it setup for that because of 3d work, NO because of VEgas. :) It is nice to see my video levels, audio levels, & preview all at the same time. :)

I'm having a hard time adjusting to not being able to have 1600x1200 since my 21" broke. A large monitor is very easy to get used to...

Kind of topical question for me, I run dual CRTs that I'm going to replace with LCDs however you really need to run them at native res for best results. So the monitors need to be run at 1280x1024 but that's each one of them so I'm going to need a video card that'll support 2560x1024, perferably with dual DVI. Seems I'm up for about $1000 for such a video card, if anyones got a cheaper/better solution I'd love to hear about it.

Run 1280 by 1024 dual heads - Plenty of room to split my tools out.

On my laptop I run 1024x768, but don't like it.

1600*1200 on my 2 screens, so that makes a huge 3200*1200 display :)

farss,

Look into the Matrox G550 Dual-DVI, or better yet, either the P650, P750 or Parhelia. None of them are anywhere near $1000 and nobody does better dual-head cards and drivers than Matrox. The cards will support dual DVI. The P-series has 10-bit DACs and their image quality is second-to-none. Also, you just need a card which will support 1280x1024 on each output, not one that will support 2560x1024. Windows will take care of spanning the two displays for you.

WOW no one has the once popular 800 by 600. Some of my friends have this and when I go over to their house it is like watching Children videos.

I work at 1152x864 on a 21” monitor but my eyes are getting old and I really can’t see anything smaller than that. With all your guys running 1600x1200 on a 21” monitor, maybe I should see a doctor about glasses. ;-)

Don’t laugh, two days ago I went over to my brother-in-law’s house to help him hook up his cable modem. (are you sitting down?) He is running 640x480! We brought up our first web page and he had to scroll sideways just to read a sentence. That convinced him to let me up the resolution to a whapping 800x600. So I hear ya’ on the Children’s video comment.

1600x1200, and on dual 21 inch sonys... but i dont always use dual monitors due to vegas's still quite poor dual screen support. Despite the new "dual screen presets", vegas still is pretty poor at dual screen layouts. It forgets window postions and often has to be hand fixed each time you start the thing, or switch layouts. Boo vegas.

"vegas still is pretty poor at dual screen layouts"

hmmm, curious. I've never had a problem with Vegas forgetting the screen layouts. I have it maximized on one monitor and I have undocked and dragged a bunch of windows to the second monitor. Works fine.

How do you have yours set up and what video card are you using?

John

John,
thanks for the head up, might have saved me a serious bundle. I agree about the Matrox cards, they use 3rd order filters on the analogue outputs to get a signal that's just that bit cleaner, probably not that much of an issue with dual DVI though.

Depends on the project.

I have profiles set with my NVidia card for my mood or project. I use 1024*768 until I can't get away with it any longer. I will bump it up to 1280*1024 and then 1600*1200 accordingly. It really depends on how many tracks I need. When syncing video cuts to music I bump teh res up because I like expanding the audio tracks to help sync the beats visually.

Sometimes I use a TV as a second display on the TV-out at 800*600, but mostly I use it for an external monitor.

Someday I would like to get those dual 20+ inch LCDs some of you are touting.

I agree Matrox makes some of the best multi-display video cards around. I just don't like their drivers.

wouldn't this be nice to edit on.. what would we do with all this space?

1600x1200 on dual 19" monitors at home, 1024x768 on my laptop (but only because that's all it can do - despite being a cheap 1GHz Celeron with only 128MB RAM, Vegas 4 and 5 run surprisingly well on it - amazing)..

Dual monitors,
1280 x 1074 on the 19";
1152 x 874 on the 17"

Fonts adjusted to Arial 10-point, instead of the default Tahoma 8-point, so I can read the damn things.

Yeah try that res (1600x1200) on a 16" laptop screen- it's insaine!

I was running dual LCDs at a resolution of 2560x1024 (1280x1024 x2) on my old Nvidia Gforce Ti4600 no problem. Only problem is it has one DVI and one Analog. You'll have to get an Analog to DVI adapter for the 2nd monitor.
