What if I have dualhead 2x1280x1024?
Could not find it in the list of options.

Hi,
Just for interest...

Updated

Macs use 1280X854, it's not in there and screens are not plain old 15" :)

Thanks!

Yep, same here.

Plus, I use 1280x854 and 1600x1200 at the same time (there are just too many combinations for this poll; maybe it should have a primary monitor resolution and a secondary monitor resolution.)

And I suppose there are a few edge cases with more than two monitors.

Probably based on what is the expected output of the poll,
Alexey can:
- ask for approximate/closest resolution, or
- allow to enter new resolution, that will show up next time
in the list
If the reason of the poll is just show how many people need
space conscious IDE (save every pixel on the screen) then
approximate/closest values are perhaps just fine.

Hello,

Feel free to add new options! :) Just edit topic and add similar entry to list.

Thanks!

I'm on an interesting position, regarding this poll: At work, I'm using a frigging 15" monitor on 1024x768 resolution. Big multinational company that doesn't believe larger displays increase developer productivity.

At home, I'm using a 19" monitor on 1600x1200 resolution, and found out the difference this can make on productivity (larger area for code or for other development tools, quicker access to different programs, etc).

I wonder how many of us are stuck with such braindead companies? :P

Hello,

Show this pool to your boss :) Statictincs of monitor size is not 17 inch :))

As for me, i just vote for my most usual desktop, where i spend more time in IDEA.

Thanks!

ROFL. I have a 17" 1280x1024 at work, but dual 21" 1600x1200 at home.

There you spend more time? :)
BTW, It seems that you have good job and salary! Congrats! :))

ROFL. Thx. The miracles of EBay. I spent 350 on one and 275 on the
other. Both refurbished and flawless. Now if I can just find 2 21"
LCDs for super cheap...
