Depends on what computer I'm using. My ibook is 1024x768. My PC is 1680x1050. My Sun at work is some weird 1152x900 or something like that, the highest res it has enough memory to do 24bit in.

ideal resolution used for surfing also depends of the monitor used cause some monitors are blurry at certain resolutions

Im using now a NEC multysinc 22 aperture grille crt monitor and the manual says 1600x1200/85hz ideal however I use 1152x864/85hz or 1280x960/85hz

I have discovery that the most high refresh rates= +blurry image and the most low refresh rates= +sharpen images however on low refresh rates you will get + flicker...so you must found the best intermediate point

1024x768 on the A1200 (when it was working).

1280x1024 on the PC.

Both have good old 16" CRTs that have brilliant displays, none of this blurry, new fangled tft rubbish :-P

1024x768 at home on the AmigaOne (thats the best me 15" CRT will do)
800x600 modified Super72 on the A1200 when I had the AT M1438S multisync monitor - likely now to be one of the DBLs or VGA.
1280x1024 at work - thats the size my 17" TFT is happiest with.
