What resolution monitor were you using by year Jow Forums?
Me: 1996 - 2012: 1280 x 1024 2012 - 2013: 1920 x 1200 2013 - Present: 5760 x 1200
I've been using a 4k monitor at work and I think it's overrated. It's only good for viewing high res photos and videos. Otherwise it's kinda pointless which is why 1440p seem so popular. At what point will we leap to 4k and 8k? Websites are taking forever with compatibility and there doesn't seem to be a real push for it.
>3rd worlder Nope, just don't care much about resolution

1990 something 800x600 2000 something 1024x768 2010ish 1280x720 2012ish 1366x768 cancer 2018 I got the 1920x1080. Call me a laggard or whatever but it looks just fine to me
Went from a crappy Dell setup to a Powermac G5 (I replaced it with a 2006 Mac Pro in 2009) with a cinema display to a Thinkpad T420.

I know I had 1080p shit early due to my father's obsession with it. So I'll just list my shit from when I started buying for myself.
2007-2018: The same 3 1080p monitors 2019: Those 3 monitors + 1 3840x2160 monitor

1998-2007 - 1024x768 2007 -2009 - 1680×1050 2009 - 2010 - 1920×1200 2010 - 2013 - 2560x1440 2013 - 2016 - 2560x1600 tried ultra wide 1440p but losing that 160 pixels line was unacceptable. 2017- now - 3840x1600 this is the resolution of the gods
Only way to improve 21:10 is making a 32:10 screen

I'll only list the highest I had at the time, even if I had several. Also won't count newer lower res monitor or multi monitor setups. Otherwise it would be a rather long list.
I'm currently using two 3840x2160 for work and 3840x1600 for games, neither which are higher res (alone) than the IBM I already had 10 years ago. I do have a 5120x2160 TV though.
I've used 1080p until like two days ago. 4K but only because the TV would have cost just about the same at 1080. Really, just glad it's bigger than the last one. 1060 struggles a bit with it, mostly keep it to 1440p. I'm basic as fuck, but I honestly spend more time on YouTube now than gaymen.

early TVs and stuff until 2000, then suddely 1024x768, then straight up to 1440x786 until 2009 and then 1920x1080 for one year and then two monitors 1920x1080. somewhere midway 2014 a third monitor 1024x768 because it cost me ten euros, but now back to two monitors.
