(MORE: The Coldest Places on Earth | Earth's Coldest Town | America's Coldest Cities) February 1899: The Clear Number 1 The cold wave during the first two weeks of February 1899 is by far and away the gold standard for cold outbreaks in U.S. history. The definitive paper on the Great Arctic Outbreak by Paul Kocin, Alan Weiss and Joseph Wagner referred to it as a benchmark with which to compare similar events.
I'm having some trouble figuring out what my screen resolution should be. My monitor is the Dell UltraSharp Widescreen 2007WFP... which is a 20 inch widescreen. Its native resolution is 1680 x 1050. At this resolution everything is very clear and normal and good. However, everything is a bit too small for me to read comfortably.
1080p monitors (that is, monitors with a 1920x1080 resolution) are very common these days, and at 23 produces a fairly sharp images. A 27 monitor, however, would not look great at 1080p, because its pixel density is lower. You'd probably want a higher resolution (like 2560x1440). Not only will the picture be sharper, but you'll have more room on the screen for your icons, web pages, and other stuff. Lastly, keep in mind that while most monitors are 16:9âlike an HDTVâthere are other aspect ratios out there. Some monitors, for example, have a resolution of 1920x1200, which is about the same sharpness as 1080p, but gives you an extra vertical 120 pixels, making it (essentially) a taller screen.
