What's your rez on your main rig? (Note: This is not "What rez do you game with?" although feel free to post what rez you DO game with if it's different). If you have more than one screen, please tell what you have!

I have dual 22" Acer AL2216WBs @ 1680x1050 each. Laptop is 1280x800 (no games). All games run native on 1680x1050 but since spanning options are gone in Vista I have no 3360x1050 goodness in games, only on desktop via UltraMon.

1680x1050 on my daily driver and my gamer (dual inputted to my 22" widesceen). Finding that my eyes are starting to go a little, so I'm actually considering going back to a 19" CRT for gaming, 1280x1024 or 1024x768 if I have to.

1920x1200 on my main rig - running a 24" LCD.
I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.
