What do all of you have your screen size set on?

Right now I have it set at 800x600 but most of the time it's at 1024x768.

Always on 1024x768!
I think it's really annoying and just too big when its on 800x600

1024 x 768. It's pretty much the default size now, and things just don't look right if I change it.

It's normally on 1024 x 768 but now I've got it on 800 x 600 out of curiosity.

Most women say size doesn't matter that much.

We've got 800x600 on our desktop because my parents claim that 1024x768 is "too small" (with text size). I prefer 1024x768 however.

When I got my notebook, the default was 1280x800. I tried changing it to 1024x768, but it was distorted because my laptop is widescreen . . . so I've left it on 1280x800, which looks good. Lots of space

It's 1280x800, and it's this widescreen format which means that 1024x768 looks very stretched and out of proportion to me.

I use 1024 most of the time and for games.

My dad uses 800x600 on a 19 ans 21 inch monitors . Well, that is if he uses the computer without his specs

800x600. If it's smaller, I have to get about 6 inches away from the screen to be able to read it comfortably. And glasses don't help this eye problem so... yah.
