Whats your screen resolution and why do you think its the best for your system?

1024x768. I could get it higher, but my monitor [screws] up when I do so.

1024x768. I can use higher, but it gets really small, and there is no real point.

My 19" sony does 1600x1200 at 75hz, but I use 1280x1024 32bit for everything including games.

21" and 1024x768 are good eye-saving combo's. My NEC 21" can do this at 85hz.

As to T-dawg's problems above that res, have you tried (1) reducing your refresh rate before setting a higher res? (2) setting a lower color depth before setting the res?

Last option: video card or drivers need updating.

My monitor is kind of weak, it's an old 17 inch one, I want to get a 17'' or 18'' flat screen soon. I run it at 1280x960 in True Color, but only at 60hz.

60hz will make you go blind man, 75hz is what I like or better

I wanted it to be 800x600 but my brother wanted 1024x768. I decided to please my brother.

You actually have "960" as a choice??? Very strange...

Yes, 60hz is an eye killer. 70+hz is good for you.

The monitor is weak? As in dim or bad focus or funky color display? If you are cash-shy, there are some fixes, both simple and complex. Let's talk...

I can get 1280x960 on my current setup (not that strange) ATI 9000 video card and Sony 420GS 19" monitor

1152x864
1280x768

is also available along with the standard resolutions

These wouldn't happen to be res's that make "oversize" people feel more accepted by their PC would they?

1024x768 on my 17" CRT
1280x1024 on my 19" CRT

These are the resolutions that feel the most comfortable to me on each of them, respectively.

1400x1050 on my 15" laptop LCD. Because it's the native resolution, and LCDs look best at their native resolution. But I had to adjust DPI and play with font sizes, to prevent things from being too small.
