Curious about current resolution trends. I was going to make a poll but then realized there are too many resolutions if you include Widescreen options. So, just type it down please.
I use 1680x1050 (Widescreen).

* @ Droid's 5:4 resolution.

1024x768 for regular tasks.
1280x960 for new games.
1600x1200 for old games (when available), video editing, etc.

Same here, but x2
But sadly only 1024x768 on my laptop. Though I got it for free so I can't complain...

1680x1050 , but I play FS at 1400x1050 so I don't have the distortion.

1680x1050 (16:10) on both my desktop and laptop.
Might hook one of those up to my TV and run at 1080p / 720p one day, now I think of it.

1400x900 widescreen because it syncs well with most games, which don't seem to support other widescreen settings.

Through HDMI?
Actually, I need to investigate RE: sound - I don't think the usual DVI/VGA - HDMI adaptors carry any audio, do they? (that, and HDMI adaptors seem very expensive IMO)

I don't think so either aldo, but some PCs have a digital audio out on them. Surprisingly, my crappy HP PC has a pretty decent sound card with digital out
Oh and BTW, 1440 x 900 (There is no such thing as 1400 x 900 guys
)

1280x960 for normal tasks,
1024x768 for FreeSpace,
800x600 for other games.
Blame the ancient PC for that

1280x960, since I'm still rockin' the CRT.
I have to dial that down to 1024x768 or even 800x600 depending on what game I'm attempting to play, though.

Are you guys serious? I can't stand player games at 1260x960, much less 800x600 o_0

Firstly, my video card would most likely melt if I tried to do anything more, and secondly, I'd like to actually be able to see what I'm doing.
