I know a lot of people who don’t know which is the best or the optimum resolution for their monitors (display). Therefore, I made a chart with the most popular sizes (inch) for the FullScreen (4:3, 5:4) monitors and the Wide (16:9, 16:10) monitors. The oldest, but not the forgotten monitor model is the FullScreen. In the opinion of the monitors producer, for each size there’s an optimum resolution.

So, this is what it looks like:

• 15 inch (38cm) -> 1024×768
• 17 inch (43cm) -> 1280×1024 SXGA
• 19 inch (48cm) -> 1280×1024
• 20 inch (51cm) -> 1600×1200
• 21 inch (53cm) -> 1600×1200

For Wide Screens the resolution formats are:

• 17 inch (43cm) -> 1440×900 WXGA
• 19 inch (48cm) -> 1440×900
• 20,1 inch (50cm) -> 1680×1050
• 21 inch (53cm) -> 1680×1050
• 22 inch (56cm) -> 1680×1050
• 24 inch (61cm) -> 1920×1200
• 26 inch (66cm) -> 1920×1200
• 28 inch (71cm) -> 1920×1200
• 30 inch (76cm) -> 2560×1600

Three issues that need to be kept in mind every time we set our resolution are:

• the distance between the monitor screen and us
• the refresh rate that the monitor can support in terms of hardware
• depends on how well we see

PS: Don’t forget to relax your eyes at regular intervals of time. If you can, look out the window or at objects that are far away from you.
