              WTF?? 800 x 600. What kind of monitor do you have?

              Use 1280 x 1024 and you're at HiDef resolution. Pictures look lifelike and 3D.

                      I use 1280x1024 which is the native rez for my LCD and it's great, fonts are still nice and clear and crisp and you still have a lot of room on the screen.

                      If things look blurry it's quite possibly because your monitor's old and/or shitty. When I got my LCD I couldn't believe what a difference there was, even at the same resolution. In some application skins (eg. XMMS, the Linux port of winamp) there was a whole bunch of detail in places that I'd previously thought were just a big dark blob.

                      You should probably still design for 800x600, but use CSS if you can to stretch things nicely for higher resolutions.
