I've always used 800x600, but just now I'm gonna try to get myself acquainted with 1024x768.

This thread clearly needs a poll! - Phong

I use 800x600 and 1024x768, big resolutions are good for small screens, since you can have a larger workspace, but its terrible on the eyes.

800x600, and it shows more space then I need

1024x768

1280x1024 on a 17" monitor.

1280x960

I would go higher, but my monitor is blurry

1024x768. I'd use 1280x1024 if I had a bigger monitor.

1024x768 on a 17"

1024x768 on a 15" screen. Just right for me.

same here.

1280x1024 on a 19" monitor. I use 1024x768 on a 17". Of course, for the first, I have to set "use large icons" to be able to quickly target and hit things on my desktop. I'd actually go higher on my 19", but the refresh rate is terrible above where I have it.

1600x1200x32 on my desktop
1024x768x32 on my laptop.

1024*768 on a 15" Flatscreen.

It will do 800*600, but because it's Flatscreen it doesn't get as good definition when working at lower res than the intended.

On LCDs, you have to use integer divisions of the size to get a clean image (e.g. 800x600 <-> 1600x1200).

Flatscreens are not merely limited to LCDs; many CRTs are also flatscreens.

1280x1024 at 60Hz on a 17 incher. Which means if you look out the edge of your eye, you can see it flickering. But my eyes are already f*cked up.

1152x864

I run at 1280x1024 on my 19 inch at home and 1024x768 on my work box.

Just a quick note, you should not be running 1280x1024 on anything but a 19" monitor, as that resolution was designed for 19" monitors. If you'll notice, it does not have a 4:3 aspect ratio because a 19" monitor has slightly different dimensions. If you run 1280x960 on a 19 inch monitor, circles will appear disproportionate. And running 1280x1024 on a 17" monitor will kill your eyes.

1152x864 on a 21" viewable.

I had to edit this after I checked my resolution. It's kind of a weird setting, but it works great on this monitor.

Feh, it's hardly a strange resolution. I like using 1152x864. And it's just fantastic on my mere 17" monitor.

1024X768 on a 15" monitor. I have too many icons on my desktop to use smaller resolutions now.

1280x1024. And fairly uncluttered as well...

1280x1024 on a 17.4 inch LCD
1024x768 on a 15 inch LCD

800x600 with a 14" or 15"
1024x768 if 17"
1280x960 on my current 19"

Anything more than that and it's a strain for the eyes.
But for games, I rarely go over 1024x768 (sometimes I use less, really think it's silly to use more). Only when I can have more space with the interface (windows in Morrowind, etc, which I play at 1280x960).

Seconded

Our 19" monitors are 4:3, I don't know what you're running
