I use a 17" Philips TFT playing all games at 1280x1024 resolution running on GeForce FX5950 ultra. I have just ordered an ATI X800XT online a few hours back and am eagerly waiting for it to be shipped!

samsung 753df - 17", has 0.20mm pitch ^_^

its at 1024x768, i used to run it at 85hz but we moved into a building like right next to a generator or something like that, i have to run at 60hz now or the screen goes crazy. from interference i guess

have an ancient radeon 8500 128mb >.<

Dual NEC MultiSync FP 1355 22" monitors - I play at whatever the highest resolution I'm able to play at depending on the game. With my 6800, I might play Quake 3 at 1600x1200 and Doom3 at 1280 x 1024. But on average, I'd say 1280 x 1024 is my most common resolution.
