    800 X 600 vs. 1024 X 768

    What do you think most end users use?

    I still think a lot of people are on 800X600?

    What's your opinion?

          Well, if 32% of our traffic is on 800x600, I think that we MUST desing our shit on 800x600..

                I optimize for 800x600. Still a significant amount of ppl that use that res. And if it looks Good in 800x600, it will look acceptable in higher res. But if it looks good at 1024x768, it will look like pure crap in 800x600.

                      800x600

                      for my main stream stuff it is over 40% but porn surfers run in the high 30% range.
                      Still a big chunk of traffic.

                                        Most use 800x600.. why I don't know.. they're all possibly half blind and need everything magnified perhaps?

                                          Hey..

                                          I made a mistake with my calculations (did them by hand)....

                                          these numbers are based on "only" 13,544,287 uniques ... so .. this results in:

                                          - 1024x768 - 6,663,829 (49,20%)
                                          - 800x600 - 4,828,996 (35,65%)
                                          - 1280x1024 - 1,008,177 (7,44%)
                                          - 1152x864 - 575,498 (4,25%)
                                          - 1600x1200 - 246,652 (1,82%)

                                          There, now the percentages make a lot more sense

                                                There are a lot of surfers still at 800x600 although 1024x768 is picking up as more and more people are upgrading their machines. I still can't imagine life at anything less than 1600x1200 though

                                                    It will be a better world when all the 800x600 people finally upgrade to 1024x768
                                                    I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                                    I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                                        I made my new site for 1024x768 and it was doing fine. Once a buddy told me he had to scroll sideways I redid it and it EXPLODED! So my lesson was to always design for 8x6.

                                                          I also say if you use 640 x 480 you should be fucking shot.
