I use 800x600 because anything else produces fonts that are too small for me to read comfortably. I tried the next higher setting and on some sites the printing was simply too small to read unless I leaned near my monitor.
I'm using a 17" monitor and would love the have higher resolution but since forums like this use fixed font size. Incidently I have corrected better than 20 20 vision so I must be doing something wrong.
Ed,
Now's your chance to possibly get the best of both worlds. At higher resolutions, photos and the overall appearance of any graphics looks better. If your using Internet Explorer, try going to a higher monitor resolution, say 1024 x or higher, but when it comes time to read text that appears too small, increase the screen magnification by following this method (http://www.shopsmith.net/forums/showpost.htm?p=36141&postcount=1) (the CTRL + and - are the way I do it.)
Right now, I am using 800 x 600 just to see what it looks like and it is actually very harsh on the eyes. Try going higher, get used to is for a while, and I think you'll never go back. (you also Al and Bill)
