I'm surprised 1280x1024 is so rare. It was once among the most common resolutions and I'd have thought more people had those monitors still around.

Yeah, it used to be pretty common. But since it was a 5:4 pixel ratio, in a 4:3 screen ratio, everything was always slightly distorted. I think that's why it fell out of favor.

I'm curious as to what resolution people play KSP at. I myself play at 1280x1024 with a Dell 1707FP.

If your option is "Other", please let me know so you can be included in the data.

Feel free to move this thread to the right location if needed.

Another SXGA 5:4 user. I'm in tears. I thought I was all alone.

It was distorted on CRTs, but the common 1280x1024 LCDs had square pixels. I think it fell out of favor for the same reason as all the 4:3 ratios: Widescreen took over everything.

When I do testing for Near Future or for personal tweaks, I use window-mode at 1680x1050 so I can still easily switch to my Excel spreadsheets, configs, file explorer and the forums.

But when I actually play the game, I run fullscreen at 1920x1200.

With CRT its easier with an square screen, Then moving to flat panels it was naturally to go wider for TV and it stuck for monitors too. I would actually prefer an even wider screen as it would eliminate the need of two screens and can be used for gaming wile taking up less room than an 3 screen setup.
