General Question Screen Resolutions (Survey)

[ex-orbinaut]

I had a look on the search for this topic, but only found the following link relating somewhat... Screen Resolutions. The Orbiter generic panel scale factoring is, indeed, not that sartisfactory (is it use of StretchBmp()?), so...

In order to make an add on that has panels choices which are satisfactory to the top two or three favorite resolutions used among the site memebers, let me know what resolutions you prefer, please. Thanks in advance...

PS: If someone knows of a similar survey done before on this subject, please refer me to it.

Sounds like a bad design decision to force people into 3 resolutions (or any resolution for that matter).

Depending upon what I'm doing 1920x1200, 3840x1024, 5040x1050 or 7680x1200 is what I use.

 

[orb]

1600x1200 for desktop,
2048x1536 for Orbiter,
but I also use 1280x960, 1440x1080, 1920x1440 for other purposes.

And 1024x768 on laptop.

Is this for some Orbiter 2D panel?

 

[Ark]

I run Orbiter at 1440x900, my monitor's max resolution.

 

[Arrowstar]

I use 1920x1200 exclusively. You might want to create a poll to better organize results.

 

[DaveS]

I run Orbiter at 1440x900, my monitor's max resolution.

Same here and for the same reason.

Given you have to create a panel of a given resolution, a choice of 3 resolutions is far preferable to a one-size-fits-none solution. At least he's trying.

I use 1600x1200 or 1280x1024, depending on which computer I'm using. Take a look at what resolutions the XR2 supports (in the ini file) and see what resulotions people have compained are missing.

I would expect 1920x1200 to be quite popular now or in the coming year or so.

 

[Dambuster]

I run Orbiter in windowed mode from between 1400x900 to 1200x900. I have a 1440x900 screen, but I like 1200x900 because I can have the 4:3 ratio box checked (not that I know what it means, but hey ).

 

[Arthur Dent]

Well, I have 1680x1050. I just bought a 22" monitor. With "just" I mean "just a year ago and I am not planing on upgrading anytime soon"

 

[Fizyk]

I use 1440x900 (used 1280x800 in the past too on another computer).

 

[orb]

Well, I have almost 5 years old 22" CRT monitor, but I don't plan to upgrade it either, at least not until OLED or TMOS monitors are widely available. But hey, I think 2048x1536 will be enough till then.

one more

 

[SiberianTiger]

1024 x 768 only.

 

[Lucy]

1024 x 768; monitor native resolution. Beyond that, things just wind up too small to see properly.

I'm working on a multi-screen rig, so at some point that'll probably change.

 

[Nemoricus]

1024x768. My monitor doesn't have any higher resolutions and that fact is unlikely to change any time soon.

 

[4throck]

1920x1080 (full HD :thumbup on the multimedia pc and 1024x768 on the old laptop.

In addition to this survey, you might want to take a look at the main Orbiter site's viewer stats. http://extremetracking.com/open;sys?login=orbitsfs

I agree.

1280 x 960 for me.

 

[willy88]

1440x900 on my desktop, 1280x800 on my laptop.

 

[vejiita]

1680x1050 here
