why do you choose this high resolution, then?

Is that a serious question?

I know it sounds slightly silly, but yes, the question is serious.

I choose the higher resolution for the same reasons most people do, I guess:

a) Can see more lines of source code on the screen at one time.

b) Can fit .h and .m files side by side while still having them reasonably wide and useful

c) Can read PDFs, web pages, etc. comfortably in full-page view mode

In all three cases, you could choose a smaller font for the text at a lower screen resolution to get the same result.

Bigger fonts with higher resolution just give a slightly smoother character display at the cost of processor cycles and need of additional memory (4 bytes per window pixel). Roughly 20% Graphics performance loss for each 10% of size increase (e.g. 10px to 11px).

d) 1600x1200 is the native, manufacturer-recommended resolution of my monitor

Hmm - I'm sure, a lower resolution won't harm.

e) etc etc etc, basically higher resolution is better in general

If you switch from 640x480 to 800x600, of course.

Beyond 80 dpi, you don't get much anymore on CRT Displays.


Just a few thoughts,

Markus
