Screen resolution / monitor size

[Dswissmiss]

Hi guys,
When I first installed linux I noticed that I could run x with a higher resolution than windows and still be able to see everything. I've noticed that on windows, anything above 1152x768 is just too small.
I used to think it had something to do with monitor size, so I'm wondering: what's your monitor size and resolution?
I'm trying out 1280x1024 on my 19 inch, but some things (webpages) seem just a little too small. Maybe I'll go back to 1280x960

I use either 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 on my 19in. I like 1600x1200 with big fonts because I can fit 2 windows on the page easily, and with big fonts still read everything. Lately I've stuck to 1280x1024 just because it is easier on the eyes, higher refresh.

My rule of thumb is to go with the highest resolution for whatever refresh rate is at heart. I generally like ~75Hz. So on any given CRT, I will go for the highest resolution that it will support at thate frequency.

So, now we get to font size. I am somewhat familiar with KDE and very much so with GNOME. In each it will allow a font size for just about anything. Set it to a larger size. Some like the gigiantic size (over an inch for a character), I personally aim at legibility yet small.

I use 1024x768@70Hz, on my poor 15" monitor (That explains the huge fonts in my screenshots)
