What Screen resolution do you use for the Net?
 

Im just interested, As 800x600 is supposed to be the norm.
I think this was more or less set because when the net first came alone, Many video cards could not go higher than 800x600.

I always use 1024x768 I was just wondering what everyone else uses?

i use 1152 x 864

i like it in windows and it dont mess up the alt tab thing for games.

if your desktop res. is same as game res. sometimes it will mess it up.

Actually, websites simply cater to which resolution is the most used, which at first was 640x480. For about the past 5 years or so, that has moved to 800x600 as people are starting to have to upgrade their computers and (usually) getting a new, larger monitor.

Only recently has it become the majority having 1024x768. I believe right now it's around 54% run 1024x768 and 28% use 800x600.

The smart company or webdesigner will make two different sites, one for 800 and one for 1024 with an automatic script to send each resolution to it's own optimized site. Anyway, just some interesting tid bits...

ahmmm most websites are still designed with 800x600 resolution in mind. Telling from experience ...

I meant majority of users using those resolutions...my bad :)

Yes, most do still use 800x600. I chance on a 640x480 one every once in a while...

I can never use anything lower than 1024x768 the net just looks like poo in lower resolutions, I cant believe you goto 640x480 that must really look bad.

Believe me, it does. One thing that kills me is going into safe mode on computers. It goes straight into 640. Icons are 3 inches tall, I have to scroll FOREVER...I'm getting bald spots from pulling out my hair when I use safe mode :D

I use 1024x768

I was using 1280x1024 at work and it was hurting my eyes.

I used 1024 x 768 at home.

Think it would help your eyes the smaller the resolution so they don't get used to something really close?

Using:

1. 1152 x 864 on my ME
2. 1024x768 on my XP machines
3. 800x600 on my 98 machine

JOTR-640x480 do to it lag way to much for me "hate it"
9-24fps sucks

BF: 1942 1024x768 great.
Halo (1) CE 1024x768.
Mech-warrior3 1024x758
Rainbow six3 1024x768
NFS: High stack's 800x600 it old.
NFS: under ground (1) 1024x768
it really varies how the game is made for the times or the hardware. to me JOTR totally blows toilet paper

normal my desktop is set to 1024x768
Windows Xp Pro (OEM) SP-2
GeForce 4MX440 640x480 up to 1600-1200
