Monitor Size and Internet Connection Speed

**Ed K.** · 22-Jul-2007, 17:58

Pardon the poll, however I'm considering making a web site that will reward viewers that have more recent equipment to view it with. Monitor sizes and internet connection speeds have been increasing a great deal in the last few years. When I look at most sites in my system's native resolution, they are so small, with so much empty space. I'm thinking of having an "older equipment" type main set of pages with a bonus large set. I just don't know how many people could view it.

If you don't mind, could we find out about what everyone has in terms of Internet Viewing capabilities?

Thanks!

Note: If you have multiple 30" or larger monitors, or use some really fancy projector that probably doesn't exist yet - great - use the 30" box if you see 2560x1600 in native res on at least one of them.

1920 x 1200
1680 x 1050
1280 x 1024

10 Mbps

Just keep in mind that the reward in image size will come at the cost of progressively higher bandwidth.

There's no free lunch, really good ones cost a lot too. )

Hello Ed, hope all is well.

I use 1600x1200, which everyone else complains about in my office.

If i could go higher i would do so. I cant stand the LCD screens so my CRT is the biggest that will fit on my desk, 20"

I also have our websites done for this range and the next step down.

dual 24" wide screen DVI LCDs (1920x1200), and a cable connection.

" Hey Marko! It's not just understanding binary, which means a system that has two possible values, but also whether one understands the context, the symbols. In one sense, most people would understand a binary bitmap raster image rendered on their screen as a pure black, and white image. I believe that there are more people who understand binary than you might believe. Most people understand a system that requires true or false; or a system that requires a yes or no answer "

**Marko** · 25-Jul-2007, 10:04

There is much more to binary than the Principle of Bivalence and there is a reason I did not specify which aspect of Binary I had in mind in my signature.

I find it really interesting to see various people commenting on it every once in a while, most of them having their own interpretation of something widely perceived as being simple. Perhaps the hidden question is: is it really that simple? Now, the question remains what exactly is the "it" in the question?

Post Scriptum: I don't think this topic really belongs in this thread, so perhaps it should be moved elsewhere, whatever the moderators decide would be appropriate.

**Ed K.** · 25-Jul-2007, 17:30

Pardon the way the poll states percentages. Because this is not a single question poll, the percentages are not valid. At least we can see the numbers. So far, this is good news for me - most people could definitely appreciate some larger stuff, and at least I'm not the only kid on the block with a large montor for Internet use.

Marko - the binary comment was more just for fun than to make any sort of meaningful comment. The comment itself was simply a message for you to find if you decoded the message to you. All in fun, ok?

I often enjoy the second and third right answer as much as the first.

With luck, we'll have a few more answers on the poll in the next week. So far, thanks for anyone who responded.

**Marko** · 25-Jul-2007, 17:43

Hey Ed, of course it's fun (although my computer is not set for ANSI - it's been a long, long time)! That's why I chose that particular signature in the first place. I just forgot to add my smiley...

Acutually, I didn't, it's there, but what the heck, one more won't ruin anybody's day.
