One monitor runs at 800x600 and the other one runs at 1024x768... Not too sure what the total resolution of both displays would be though.

19 Inch CRT
1280x1024 @85Hz
Any smaller of a screen and I would reduce the resolution (likewise if I upped the screen size I would also up the resolution), I would rather not have to use a magnifying glass to work with the computer.

No kiddin' HAL,
I had been using a 17" IBM monitor for years running at 60hz (because that's all it would do) and a few months ago picked up a Viewsonic 19". I've got a dual monitor setup now and wow, can you ever see the difference between the two. I've got the new 19" running 1600 x 1200 @ 85hz and the 17" at 1280 x 1024 @ 60hz. You can literally SEE the screen refreshing at 60hz! I never even realized it until it was next to the nice one.

This is why I tried to get mine to kind of "blend in" with the rest of the forum by using the same font and background colours. You will also note that I have hidden it in this post just for you Cricket.

Wow, I'm the only one running 1152x864 100Hz. . .interesting, I just haven't found the need to go higher for day to day computing, this gives me the perfect balance on a 19" monitor. I will, however, crank it up for games.
