As you all should know, we over in Project Z are developing something for Zmud that may or may not end up as an interface. Pixels are very important for this project, and as such we will probably need to know what resolutions people use.

I'm going to assume that if you vote other you'll post on what your "other" actually is.

800*600, yo. But I best not vote because I can't use the ZMUD thingy in any case, so I'd just mess up the results. happy.gif

everyone should vote.. we care about the screen resoultion of players not zmud users as this interface is intended for people not yet playing.

I voted other: 2560 X 1024 (dual monitors of different sizes and resollutions combine to make that.)

Bleh, Daganev, don't make it hard. Surely you don't spread zMUD across both monitors?
Daganev2005-03-09 22:05:01
I spread my sub windows across two monitors, and have my settings open in the other window. Also I don't run zmud fullscreen anyways.

Whatever that means...

Dual monitors at 1280x1024 is my current resolution of choice.

There are people still using 800x600 !!??
I haven't run a monitor at that low a resolution since I moved off Windows 3.1

Are you running on 14" monitors?
Or do you just like really big text?

*feels sorry for anyone who is on 640x480* Im on 1024x768

1280x1024
x2

800x600 and 1024x768 are the major resolutions most websites aim to serve.

Yay for unholy blasphermers! My resolution may be at 1024 x 768, but about a third of the width goes to maps. From what I've seen of the Zmud screens so far, it's like you guys can memorise the entire basin blink.gif

I have 1024x748 for whenever I use it as all my programs only work prperly with it. But my mum can't read 1024x748 and has to keep SWAPPING IT.. explode.gif

i use 1024x748 to run my system otherwise the pictures mess up

800x600 is so 1990s.
Unknown2005-03-10 16:34:28
Right, feel free to use 1024 by 768 as you wish... but don't be sorry when you'll go blind in 20 years from having your eyes tired by reading those itsy-bitsy little letters.
Rauros2005-03-10 16:52:39
1024x768 or 1152x864. Anything bigger is too hard to read. And I cannot stand 800x600. It makes me feel like I have a virus or something.
Gwylifar2005-03-10 18:27:48
1280x1024, actually. As it happens, my optometrist told me when I'm in my 40s my vision might drop down to 20/20. tongue.gif

How ignorant of you :-p

800x600 is still the best. You see, both numbers have three digits, and three is a very special number.

Also, some people do not have screens that support greater resolutions (really, I am partially one of them - that is, the computer I'm sitting in front of at the moment has such pre-medieval screen, but the others do not). But that's just a detail.
