Derek DiBenedetto Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Just curious for game design/research purposes: As far as your main gaming computer goes (whether it be desktop or laptop), what is the standard screen resolution you use? 1024x768? 1280x760? 1366x768? 1280x800? Higher? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Desktop 1920x1200 as it's the recommended for this size of a monitor (24"). I'd say that most desktop computer screens are using 1680x1050 to 1920x1200 nowadays, don't know about laptops since I've never had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packerman120 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Personally on my laptop I use 1366 by 768 screen resolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayW Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 1440x900 right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 1920 x 1080 This. I think it's the most common one nowadays as 22" is the standard size atm (or is it 24" already?). But from my perceptions on the forum here lots of people play on laptop so it might be less than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayW Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 According to these two sources (Raid Tables and W3 Schools) the most common screen resolution in 2014 is 1366x768, followed by 1920x1080. Their percentages differ slightly but they have their resolutions pretty much rated in the same order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek DiBenedetto Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Good info so far, guys! Nice to see the average res resting around 1366x768 these days, and usually higher, as that's the res i'm most comfortable developing in (by default anyway) these days. Keep it going!

Phreak Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 1440x900. Got an older 15.5" laptop, but she still runs pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMegaFish Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I run 1920x1080. For some reason I thought I was using 1600x900 but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon_lit_tears Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 As I tend to change the preferred resolution to fit my needs I think a lot of game developers do good by adding options to change it. As not everyone has perfect 20/20. I think those that choose to not allow these changes lost business, may not be a lot, but some. I think in my opinion those that don't allow that option are just saying they don't care about the needs of the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Lyrium Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 1360x768, because my monitor is weird (it's a cheap Korean generic thing, need to get a new one really...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek DiBenedetto Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Good answers so far everyone! moon: Yes, i'm aware people do change their reses, i'm trying to find the "sweet spot" so that players don't need to change, at least to play my games anyway. If I didn't care about players and their needs, this thread wouldn't exist. I think 1366x768 allows me to present more data onscreen without having to use tiny fonts or cram stuff in i've found, yet will work on most older systems and laptops fine. One previous game project I used 1280x1024, and that ended up being a nightmare in terms of people with older machines, but was needed to display all the data required for the game.

moon_lit_tears Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm not saying you don't care. It's just that giving the option for even a few Res choices would be good. I've no freaking clue what mine should be. I tend to play some of my games on 800x600. But others different. I guess it would really depend on the game. If it's a lot of text maybe a way to raise the font would be awesome. But that's just my opinion because I hate reading itty bitty fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
