Like a previous comment said, ussualy a webmaster worries about his site resolution, will if fit other resolution users?

Othwewise I’m on a LG LCD, 17″ - 1024×768, works great for a couple of years now.

Wow you got a book published! Thats so good. What publisher did you go through? I am just wondering because I would like to get a book published, and I’m not sure how to go about it. Anyway, well done to you - I know its very hard to get something published.

I think my resolution is 1024Ã—768 but I dont really notice it because its always been like that.

1920Ã—1200 on my 17″ dell XPS laptop and 1680Ã—1050 on my mac book. It seems like it is only people that are into either design or development that worry about screen rosolutions. My parents still use 800Ã—600 and nothing I say will get them to switch

WAIT A MINUTE! WHADDYA MEAN DOES SIZE MATTER??

OH! (oops)

I have a 17″ CRT set at 1152×864 (you didn’t expect a normal resolution, did you?)

P.S. You just knew someone had to make a crass joke about size, may as well have been me.

I was just chatting with a (designer) friend last night and out of nowhere I popped this question, “Do you think there are still people out there who use the 800 x 600 resolution?” She said “Probably” and I said “Well, when are they going to switch?” — lol.

I also run at 1280 x 1024 on my computer at work. And yes I think size does matter, especially to web designers. I wish I can get a new 19″ LCD monitor soon.

I hope you have fun at the Blogher Conference, Lisa!

I’ve had a 19″ CRT for about 8 years now (just can’t bring myself to upgrade yet to a LCD when ‘ol faithful still hangs in there). I run at 1280 x 1024.

Resolution is always one of those things that I’m aware of and will always check the resolution stats on Google Analytics when I check the other numbers each month. It shows an interesting trend in some of my readers.

LOL! Sounds good!

Well, you were complaining that it was too hot - so now you’ve got some rain to make up for it! Mind you, it’s still chucking it down here too! I just hope it’s nice when I go away at the end of the month…

I’ve got an incredibly good 19″ Dell TFT. I spent days online trying to find one that had good reviews at a reasonable price - then a batch of these popped up on a sales site I use quite often. It was listed as a Grade A return on the site, but when it arrived it had never even been opened. I got it for GPB 122 instead of the RRP of GBP 470!

Oh, and I run it at 1280 x 1024 - which doesn’t really give me enough space for what I want to do, which is why I’m on the lookout for a decent 17″ to run as a second display!

Size does matter. I just got a 22″ monster monitor and I’m in love with all 1680×1050 pixels of it. It makes me so happy to see the huge amount of space as I sit down at the computer. My dad still uses an 800×600 and I just can’t stand to look at his monitor- “boxed in” is definitely a good way to describe it! Maybe there’s a term for that, like “screen claustrophobia” or something.
