1024 x 768 for me.

I have always had a problem with Cumulus regarding the display.
If i start playing a game that uses fullscreen, within 5 minutes Cumulus crashes, but doesn't restart. I have to close Cumulus if i wish to carry on with the game(s) because it starts using too much CPU power while it's crashed.

1920x1200 - sort of.

I connect to another PC which runs Cumulus via RDC, so the screen resolution is really whatever the client PC uses.

I use 1680x1050 and set it to 130% in Windows 7. Most applications I use are too small to read at any less than 130%.

I never run anything full-screen...

Also I realise this is a fairly old poll, would have thought a very common screen size now is 1920 × 1080 which I guess has come along since this poll was started.

I've dedicated an old VAIO PC to running Cumulus. Screen resolution is 1366 x 768.

I'm not bothered by the Cumulus window being smaller in size.

All is working well.

Using remote desktop, as my Cumulus installation is on a Windows Server 2012 installation. Therefore using these different resolutions: 1680x1050 (Monitor on server), 1920 x 1080 (Fixed PC), 1600 x 900 (Personal Ultrabook) or 1920 x 1080 (Work notebook).

What actually would be great is an IOS and Windows 8 app. :)

1280 x 1024, for me! The PC screen, looks very clear almost "HD-like" with Cumulus and other programs opened up on the screen! :D

I'm running Cumulus on HP_5720 terminal and L1730B 4/3 monitor with resolution 1280*1024. This set is dedicated only for Cumulus so 1280*1024 is enough and I'm happy with it.
The day when I have learned anything is not the lost one.
