POLL: What Is Your Monitor Resolution Setting?
Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2009 7:32 am
In preparing shop mgmt web based training videos production for the pending Manager SE / ShopStream 6.3 release, I have to finalize the output dimensions of the videos to fit fully on the screen. The content cannot be off the screen and I must also allow space for any playback controls.
It occurs to me this is a good time to poll users as to what screen resolution shops are running and the shape (standard or widescreen) of their monitors are. National data indicates that 1024x768 is now average for most PC users. Using recent repair & estimating videos as a model, these will be delivered in approximately 960 x 600 resolution.
If unsure, you may check it by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting Properties, then the Settings tab and check this scale:
Because you may have a mixture of different monitors and individuals with their own preferences, this poll allows THREE options per vote.
Please note that the 6.x version of shop mgmt software requires a minimum of 1024x768 resolution. If you're running 800x600 and plan to migrate to 6.x version, it's time to upgrade. If you need an excuse, here's a couple: prices have tumbled on good LCDs and they're better on your eyes!
