What Resolution are you running?

I am in the process of redoing a few of my webpages,
and it got me to wondering, just how many ppl still run 800 res ?

I hate having small images on any of my pages,
but if I make them very big, it will mess up the formatting to those running 800 res.

So, what resolution are you running?
and on what size monitor?

For the poll, please select the lowest resolution you tend to use.

Thanks

1024x768 on an ancient 17" CRT at home
640x480 on my pda
1680x1050 on a 20" LCD at work

1024 is the new 800. just so you know.

21 inch CRT 150 pounds of glass and plastic. Love it but it takes up my whole livingroom and magnets make it mad. 1900 x 1200

19in. CRT 1152x864

15.4 inch laptop, 1280x800

oh, might as well state mine also....

17" LCD = 1280x1024
24" LCD = 1920x 1200
15" LCD = 1024x768

yes, thats all on the same computer

1920x1200 baby!!! big 24 in. on an articulated arm.
love it.

19" LCD 1280x1024

19" CRT - 1600x1200 (for my email, on one side of the desk)
19" LCD - 1280x1024 (for everything else, next to the crt)

1680x1050 at home
2560x1024 at work

Not voting as resolution is defined by two numbers, not one.

20" Widescreen Dell LCD. Typically run 1280x960 Native is 1680x1050

1280x1024 native

some gaming forced to shrink to 1024x768
otherwise usually between 1280x1024 and 1600x1200

Well, for my purpose, I am only concerned with the width

Thanks guys.

Still trying to stay with 800x600. Seems to work for nearly everything and nearly all web sites. I can do 1024x768 but than somethings are a bit too small to read easily since I prefer to stay back quite a bit further than most people from the monitor (LCD) as even LCD puts out EMF and it's just one of those things I like to avoid.

I have (and use) a resolution of 1,440x900 (native) on this 19" LCD monitor.

This is a question I've been mulling for a long time. When exactly should I go to a higher screen resolution for my site?

I decided a while back that when less than 5% of my viewers are at 800 wide, I'll step up to 1024. I hate the thought of making it difficult for folks with smaller (and older) monitors, but from a design standpoint, 800 ain't a lot of room to work with, IMHO.

FWIW, over the last sixty days, 7.01% of my viewers are using a 800 x 600 resolution...a year ago it was 11.10% for a similar period.

Bottom line for me is, I won't be changing anytime real soon, but probably by the end of the year. And my apologies (in advance) to those that will be inconvenienced.

It's tough to design for every browser and every platform, but I'm sure jtice is like most of us...we try.

You left 640 off the list????

I use a pda with a cell modem to visit CPF when I'm on the road. That gives me 640 x 320.

It's nicest if you leave the formatting up to the browser.

At the moment, the browser window is using 1242x931 of a 1280x1024 screen.

i am actually at 2500x1600, but because it scrolls then, i chose the correct one.
BUT if you asked me how MUCH of that i would dedicate to just the web or a website, it would be the same as it was, about 10x7 or 12x10. which could be more important than how much is there total.

i HATE 800x600 Flash websites, mostly because its flash, but also because its STUCK to small.
hopefully a good website is fully scalable, i dont do html, but most sites seem to be cool with any level of squeesing around the window for the web.
