Well fuck me in the butt, I guess that means I have a rare monitor (1600x900).xenoxols wrote:Supported doesn't mean standard. Also 1920x1080 laptops are actually pretty common now, and a desktop monitor under 1920x1080 is pretty rare.

Re: Your Computer(S) Specs
1600x900 monitors aren't rare; ones made in the past 2 years are,
Edit: I was talking about stuff currently being made, sorry if it was confusing. I have seen 1 1600x900 monitor made this year and that was on newegg.

Re: Your Computer(S) Specs
i subsist with a 1366x768 laptop, i can't imagine anything larger than that on my desktop, and what's the deal with having edgy mouse and keyboard, generic ones do just fine.

Re: Your Computer(S) Specs
What do we need to tell Microsoft?
1920x1080 is only considered high resolution on tablets, but not on desktop monitors, if you mean 'high resolution' in the context of desktop scaling.

Figured it might just be hyperthreading. I didn't recall it being 8 cores either, but just took the info from dxdiag.xenoxols wrote:That is a quad core processor; the first 8 core i7 came out a couple months ago.(The i7-5960x)Ixnatifual wrote:Intel i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs)

Re: Your Computer(S) Specs
As far I remember, I barely saw them with such resolution except on a few Windows tablets (thankfully), although having resolutions such as 2560x1440 and 2048x1536 is a cool thing, apparently.Graf Zahl wrote: 1920x1080 is only considered high resolution on tablets, but not on desktop monitors, if you mean 'high resolution' in the context of desktop scaling.
However, my phone's resolution is 1920x1080.

Re: Your Computer(S) Specs
My phone's resolution is 1920x1080. All of my laptops are 1366x768 and under, and I hate them. There is no space for fitting windows. Games are mostly fine though.
Edit: Graf Zahl, he may be talking about 3840x2160 scaling issues in windows.

Re: Your Computer(S) Specs
To be honest, I could care less for such resolution for a 5" screen, but it's at least more comfortable to read stuff that way (well, compared to my previous phones, at least).xenoxols wrote:My phone's resolution is 1920x1080.
I saw laptops with higher resolutions and to be honest, I'm fine with 1366x768 because my eyes would hurt from looking from such a small screen otherwise, but I do agree it's starting to be a problem when you have at least two windows side by side, so I prefer to do most of my work on my desktop computer instead.xenoxols wrote:All of my laptops are 1366x768 and under, and I hate them.

Was that about the blurry mess some software that may appear with such resolutions?xenoxols wrote:Edit: Graf Zahl, he may be talking about 3840x2160 scaling issues in windows.

Re: Your Computer(S) Specs
Look for some kind of program that gives you "workspaces" or multiple desktops on one monitor. I use Linux, and I have four workspaces arranged 2x2. You can probably find something for Windows that does the same. I'll usually put a browser in one, and depending on what I'm working on, GIMP in another, reading/schoolwork on a third, fourth contains my Pandora app, Pidgin chat and misc other stuff. It's seriously incredible and really makes life easier.XanderK9 wrote:I saw laptops with higher resolutions and to be honest, I'm fine with 1366x768 because my eyes would hurt from looking from such a small screen otherwise, but I do agree it's starting to be a problem when you have at least two windows side by side, so I prefer to do most of my work on my desktop computer instead.xenoxols wrote:All of my laptops are 1366x768 and under, and I hate them.
