    Surfers and screen resolutions.

    Does anybody have any decent statistics about resolutions? Are many people actually still using 800x600?

    If you were developing a joke/porn/content site, would you optimize for 800X600 or skip right to 1024X768?

    Any other thoughts on the matter?

    1024x768 -54 %
    800x600 - 18%
    1280x1024 - 13 %
    1152x864 - 4 %
    1280x800 - 2 %
    others - 9 %

      Assuming you're not just making this up and fucking with me (hey, it is GFY) .. then you only risk alienating < 20% of surfers using a resolution before 1024.

      I wonder what percentage of these people who still use 800x600 know they're losers and don't get too offended by a site they need to scroll sideways on?

        Hard issue to deal with. I still let mine be viewable in 800x600 for now. When the % gets less maybe I design them bigger. Although, I let my site expand based ont what the resolution size is anyway so that works too
