My resolution is still 1920x1080

Mine is still 1280x1024

You would not believe how many games just aren't built to handle 4:3 resolutions any more. Hearthstone, for instance...

1366x768. I'm just not down with those humongous screens, sorry.

1600x900, not quite high def but almost.

365.242 dpy

Whatever the hell the resolution of this phone is

Ditto.

My laptop will not go past 1024x600 no matter what. not with new video drivers or nothing. It's actually quite irritating.

Have you tried a linux live CD to see if that can squeeze anything more out of the video card?

I actually run this laptop as a dual boot system with Ubuntu installed also and it doesn't matter if I'm on Linux or Windows, the max resolution is 1024x600.

The thing that has always bothered me about that potato picture is the Avaya card.
I used to install those, they are meant to go into Avaya (rebranded AT&T) telephone systems back in the late 90s early 00s to allow computers to connect to the phone system for remote administration. You needed the card in the phone system, not the computer.
It's just out of place, even for a potato.

That's the native resolution of my netbook's 10.1" screen. My phone is 540 x 960, while my desktop monitor and television are both 1920 x 1080.

Same. And really I don't want to go any higher, it's already hard enough to pick out a moving twinkle of light 1 pixel wide among the stars in Space Engineers, for me to swoop down upon guns and grinders blazing.

Not upgrading until those sexy curved screens 4K are in my price range and under 5 MS.

I don't know, I just saw one of those 4k P-Series VIZIOs on display at a store, and they look pretty nice.
No idea how reliable they are, but the picture quality looked fantastic.
Not gonna pay US$1400 for one, though.

Since I'm not a filmmaker and I don't want a wall sized TV, I don't really find 4k that appealing.

I think about Ray Bradbury's The Veldt, and the wall-sized screens in Fahrenheit 451... The screens were wall-sized as a metaphor, but now that there are screens approaching that size, it is truer than ever...

I'm always reminded of 1984's Wall Screens in every room, with cameras, following your every move, letting anyone watch anyone. Nobody seems to have expected people would voluntarily start paying to place those invasions of privacy everywhere under the name of "Kinect" and "SmartTV" and the likes.

I hope by 2017, it's out there.

I might want a new screen though. My Samsung SyncMaster 226bw is looking old now....

I'm personally waiting for monitors with g-sync to become affordable.

Well, no, Ray Bradbury totally did. People bought them and then all they wanted to do was watch them. Brave New World implied this, too.

4k means you can finally fit an 80in television in only 40in of space.
