I want to gather some statistics regarding what video resolutions you guys are running. This information will be very useful when developing the graphical interface for ST:Supremacy/BOTF2.

If yours isn't listed, choose the closest match or specify below.

Thanks for participating.

I use 1280 x 1024. That's the max my screen resolution will go. I need it coz i've got so much junk on my desktop! :lol:

My monitor is a 17" Medion 30917PN.

i die on anything less than 1600x1200 at 75+ refresh rate.

anything with a lower refresh rate, and I can see the flickers, and if the resolution is lower, i cant fit all my data, and my eyes begin to hurt :(

Yeah, my MacBook Pro is a widescreen 1440x900. Considering I'm building the game on this machine, it will definitely look good at that resolution ;).

The game will run at your desktop settings, so it will run at whatever resolution and refresh rate you have set. If you're running 1600x1200@85Hz, then that's what the game will run at. When I run it on my desktop, it will run at 1920x1200, and when I run it on my laptop, it will run at 1440x900. I just want to know the most common resolutions people are running so that I can optimize the UI layouts to make the best use of the available space.

I got naff speakers too. I have rubbish speakers built into my monitor, but I don't use them. I use the monitors that came with my PC, although those are rubbish too. :(
