I’m embracing Linux superiority and going for 2560x1440 at 22° of tilt this year.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Go a bit extra and join the 22.5° gang!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah the 22 degree tilt was crazy... :)

I cannot live so dangerously myself but I will live vicariously through you.

2560x1440. but my brother got one of those ultrawide thingies, and the backlight is starting to die on my samsung odyssey g5 afer not even one year of use. might try to find an ASUS one worth buying, and i'm definetely going OLED this time.

this year is gonna get expensive fast.

just read what connunity this is in, god i am very oblivious sometimes.

How do you notice backlight dying? I have a curved uwhd as well

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

you can't tell me that these spots are normal:

they flicker sometimes, too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

They only flicker during Christmas, it's a feature.

1920x1080, the same since 2014

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Ayy same! Double 1440p buddies!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'd love to get one of these in a curved display one day. My buddy has a nice 34" one and it looks fantastic!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I snagged a good deal on two of them. Totally overkill, but they are wall mounted and I don't know if there is any going back at this point and I love it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

2160x1440, same as last year

But it's 32" curved rather than 27" flat, which is much better of an upgrade once you're at 1440 imo

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

4k for my gaming rig

1440x whatever on an ultra wide for my home office

A really strange resolution for my laptop but 3k effectively

A trio of 1080p monitors for my in office office

So same as last year

If you put them all together and run a screensaver that goes round and round across all screens, you'll become the world's no. 1 hacker

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

To survive... with 1080p for another year

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

It's still 1920x1080 like it's been for the past few years. Not really gonna change any time soon.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

800p or 720p depending if I use the Deck or the Switch.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

4K, can't go back from that... :)

Icons are actually sharp and beautiful now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

On my primary phone it's sadly 2400x1080. I want a 16:9 display again, with dedicated navigational buttons, as it used to be.
Backup phone has 128x160.

1920x1080 on my laptop.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are you sure that backup phone is still compatible with any of the networks? I'm pretty sure my last phone with that kind of res didn't even have 3g, and 3g is gone here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Despite being released in 2018, it only supports 2G. This is not a problem in Slovakia yet. As far as I know, 3G networks will start getting shut down this year, which should be completed until the end of the year (2024). Although Slovak Telekom is already done with that, Orange will be in February, O2 starts this month, and Swan never built a 3G network to begin with.

However, there's no exact plans for 2G yet. The expected year for shutdown of 2G is all the way in 2030. BUT, for example Slovak Telekom has stopped providing GPRS on 2G, which means no mobile data access on 2G. My carrier (Swan) still provides that though, so I can browse using frogfind.com or read news on 68k.news if desired.

1080p, usually 1920x1080. All of my major screens except my iPad are this resolution, albeit ranging from 60Hz all the way to 300Hz.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

1680x1050, I got some second hand office monitors a few years ago and that's what they use!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm trying out 1440x1024 atm

[–] WindowsEnjoyer 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

FHD for life. 280Hz refresh rate 😅

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Same! What monitor model do you have? 😃

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Mostly 1080 and 1440.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

3072x1920 checking in.

Also same as last year.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Recently upgraded to that same res recently. I don't usually care for Alienware, but damn this ultrawide OLED awesome to game on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I got one in 2019 and my higher end graphics card always paid the price, even on day one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago
