Please vote. You do not have to post. Thanks :(

My original resolution was the default, 800 x 600 but I changed it to 1024 x 720 as it's much more easier to see items more clearly.

1024x768 here :(

[preso]

default 800x600 changed to 1024x768..

Anyone on this forum using anything lower than 1024 x 768?

[LemonHead2089]

800x600 is web standard.

I use a different resolution on linux (1280 x 1024) to the one i use on windows (1152 x 864).

800x600 is web standard.

5 years ago perhaps, but in 2005? Surely not. I always thought 1024 x 768 was web standard these days :(

Nope... 800 x 600

The 640×480 resolution, introduced with the IBM PS/2 VGA and MCGA (multi-color) on-board graphics chips, was the standard resolution from 1990 to around 1996, partly due to its 4:3 ratio. 800×600 was the standard resolution until around 2000. Since then, 1024×768 has been the standard resolution. Many web sites and multimedia products are designed for this resolution.

And you beleive everything you read on the internet? :(

Well I've also seen this mentioned several times in PC magazines as well, for example ComputerActive, PC Pro, Web User & Micro Mart.

My information is slightly different. A larger % of users use 800 x 600.... 23.4% comes to mind. It might be more users use 1024 x 768, BUT websites (ie the "standard" or norm) is still 800 x 600....

[Samurai]

I agree that more users use 800 x 600 but I think the majority of websites cater for higher resoultions.

1024x768 here. My friend hates it because I have a 19inch CRT Flat and thinks I should use 1280x1024 or higher, but I don't like it because of the low refresh rates and everything is so small. Plus I play most games at 1024x768 so when I load/quit a game the screen doesn't have to keep changing. I would also tend to agree that alot of websites build their sites for 1024 since when I tried surfing the web using 2048x1536, I noticed alot of sites took up only half the page. Except for Google, you could load about 9 of them.

Love the 'small-ness' wish mine could go higher but then it doesn't display properly when I try.

1280x960

Not sure why so many people use 1280x1024, not 4:3 ratio...
