Monitor resolution.

Quick survey.
I need to know the members' computer monitor resolution.

Oh and please post the size of your monitor.

For example, mine is:
Apple 30" @ 2560x1600

If I wanted to raise my ego, I'd put my three other monitors to make a quad-monitor setup and create a massive resolution of 1280x1024 + 1600x1200 + 1900x1200 + 2560x1600.

No. This is simply for Stoptazmo and a couple of websites I manage.

Edit:
Oh and I have to admit that I'd run a multi-monitor setup if SLI worked on that. Driver and hardware limitations prevent multi-GPU rendering on more than one monitor.
As soon as that's overcome, I swear to god that I'll slap in another 30" LCD.

Edit 2:
Found the email:

When a system with two GPUs installed is operating in non-SLI technology mode, the system supports up to four video outputs. When a system is operating in SLI technology mode, only one monitor is supported. Therefore, it is not possible to use dual monitor setup on SLI.

won't it be annoying with 2 screens as the image will be "cut" in 2 ?
unless you use one screen for something and the other one for another application.. ?

Depends on what you are doing.
For professional use, like Photoshop, Powerpoint, etc, dual monitor setups are the next best thing after an orgasm. Having ALL your toolbars, and I really mean ALL of them, on one and your photo/whatever on the other really helps a lot.

yes, that's what i thought too... but i'm wondering if it's good for by example a game in dualscreen, or a movie... ?

but sure that's usefull when you do several things at the same time or use an application like photoshop ^^"

I tried Counter Strike Source at 2560x1024 (two 1280x1024 monitors) and it was quite unplayable. The crosshair was right where you expect it to be: Between the two monitors.
