Your screen resolution

I'm somewhat curious. When I designed the new GoW website, I was stuck on a monitor that would only go up to 1024x768px resolution. Now that I have my awesome 19" acer monitor and am running 1680x1050px, it looks terrible. So can you guys give me an idea of what you run? Voting in the poll would be most helpful. You can list your exact resolution if you like.
This poll will help me if I ever decide to revamp the site again.

I'm using 1680x1050 on a "22 widescreen. Everything looks OK to me.

Same here. I don't know what's so terrible. Looks OK in Firefox.
Glad to know you got a new monitor, Adam. I remember the picture you posted and still have nightmares about it.

I'm pretty sure your monitor is 4:3, so let's count it as such.

1280x1024 == 5:4, that's correct... However, it's closer to 4:3 than anything else

I also run 1280x1024 (or actually, 2560x1024: dual monitors

), but I almost never put my browser fullscreen. So the actual size of my browser window is probably closer to 1024x768, maybe a bit less.

I can't vote in this poll, as my screen is 5:4 resolution, and that doesn't fit any of the choices. It's also apparent that this is a pretty common resolution. <.<
(1280x1024)
(1280/1024 = 1.25):(5/4 = 1.25)
(1024/786 = 1.33...):(4/3 = 1.33...)
they're not that far off, but still, I want my 0.0833...

The site looks fine on my widescreen laptop.
