Screen Size and Resolution?

[Alan]

I am just building a new web site (my fifth!), and I am making it to the full size of my monitor, which is 17" set to 1024 x 768 resolution, and note this on the home page.

What sizes of monitor do you all have, and what screen resolution?

I have a 19" set to 800 x 600. I like to recline while I surf, without squinting.
I used Hit-O-Meter (http://hitometer.netscape.com) and its statistics say most people use 800x600, IE 5.0, but I tweeked my site for the 640 x 480 guys, and centered everything so it looks right on the higher resolutions.

My monitor is 17" and I use 800x600 as I find it just right. Any higher and the details get to small for my liking.

I had not realised that people were still using 800 x 600 so much! Seems kinda old-fashioned http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif

I have made my previous sites with this low res. in mind, but my new site published last night is set for 1024 x 768.

I can run 17in DELL at 1600 x 1200 gabillions o'colors... but need a electronic telescope to see anything..

I run 1024x768...

best to set it for 800x600 when doing buusiness websites... thats what most have.

club and social sites I do at 1024x768.. they look good, but remember to try it at 800x600 for the majority that cant goto 1024x768.. If they cant see your page they wont come back or tell others...

Just to check, I reset my monitor to 800 x 600. It looked horrible!!! You can see the pixels even in small typefaces!

I will definitely stick with 1024 x 768, and make allowances on web sites for the lower res.
