I've been playing around a lot (probably too much) with game resolution. I had ALWAYS played at 800x600, on a 21" monitor, but I have recently started goofing around with it some.

What do YOU play at?

Been at 1024x768 for a long time, on a 17 inch monitor, when I get a 19 inch on monday I might see what else I can do.

1152x864 could be a reason my ping isnt as good but I am willing to sacrifice...LOL

1024X768 because I had problems with 800X600. My g-force TI4200 would start to lock up my system on CS when I was shooting at someone or they shot at me. It was kinda like lagging out, had the same problem on a different game, but this time I had the good idea to crank up the rez and that fixed my problem so now i stick with higer rez for all my games.. :)

1024x768. I didn't know that it really made a difference.

I think I'm settling at 1024x768 as well - it seems at 1280 and higher the crosshairs are too thin or something...

i ply at lower resolutions like 800x600 or lower because its gives a lower ping ,faster graphics and larger targets...

After playing around a while - I have settled at 1024x768 - just tried 1600x1200, but it seems like the crosshairs get smaller - thinner or something...dunno

so 1024 it is for me - no more playing 'round w/ it.

I'm back to 1600x1200 - once you get used to it, it dosen't make much difference, and it looks a WHOLE lot better :D

1600x1200 is even better on a 21" monitor - at 85Hz :)
