    My resolution was recently changed, and I was wonder what the best one to use for your text is.

    In your closet, watching you sleep.
    I usually set mine to 300.

    Yea for high detail stuff (like icons and whatnot) you usually go for 300+

    Mine is set at 72...but I move it up and down, fluctuates with what type of graphic I'm making.

    72 for web and computer graphics, 300 for print. Monitors, to my knowledge, can't display anything higher than 72 anyway (that's what one of my teachers said, anyway). Printers tend to print at 300dpi, which is why you want your resolution set to that if you're printing.
