Valve revamps Steam Survey

Monthly and much better
Mon Dec 15 2008, 16:30

VALVE HAS UPPED the ante in reporting on what gamers game on. They totally revamped the Steam Survey with new looks and functionality, and best of all, it is now monthly.

Yes, the site for gaming stat geeks was the best in class by far, and it just got better. Some of the major stats on CPUs and GPUs are graphed with back data, and the rest are much better organised. No longer do you have to hunt for the important bits, now you they are grouped logically.

It is better in every way, and you can see it here. µ

It is possible to have a 16 inch 4:3 monitor. I have a 17 inch Dell flat panel monitor and it's mainly 4:3.

It supports 16:9, but Windows seems to register it as 4:3. My 360, uses 16:9.

A possible answer

I would hazard a guess that the 16" screens they are refering to are what the manufacturers here call 17" screens, I think they label them differently in the states, as my tv is a 36" over here, but the same model in the us is called a 34"

Most common widescreen size - 27 inch?

Shureley shome mishtake.

4:3 Display size - 16 inch is most common, huh? 23% have this screen size.

16:9 Display size - 27 inch is most common, 18% have this screen size.

Do steam players mostly have 27 inch widescreen gaming monitors? I feel inadequate and not much of a man with my lowly 22 incher!

Are those figures right?

Can you even buy a 16 inch 4:3 screen?

Where are these 16 inch screens?

Are 27 inchers more common than 17 or 19 or 22 or 24 inch? I doubt it.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
