800 X 600 vs. 1024 X 768 - GoFuckYourself.com

GrimShawn · 11-17-2003, 01:36 PM

What do you think most end users use?

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

What's your opinion?

basschick · 11-17-2003, 01:39 PM

my stats say lots of guys still use 800x600, so i try to optimize for 800x600 and 1024x768

Zebra · 11-17-2003, 01:40 PM

Looking at stats gathered from over a million surfers I see this:
1024x768 47.26%
800x600 32.56%
1280x1024 7.82%

Fabuleux · 11-17-2003, 01:40 PM

My stats tell me to use 800x600 too

Basic_man · 11-17-2003, 01:41 PM

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

Thats a really good example.

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 is good for laptops imho, i always use 800x600 on mine.

slapass · 11-17-2003, 01:54 PM

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.

Zebra · 11-17-2003, 02:25 PM

Anyone remember in '96 when Netscape had 90% of the surfers and IE was about 5%?
Man how times change.

This is from random tgp/free site traffic

1024x768 47.50%

800x600 33.89%

1280x1024 7.77%

1152x884 4.54%

6 months ago 800x600 was good for 50%.

Hey..

here are some stats we can provide (I will only post top 5):

Stats for yesterday, based on 17.8 million uniques:

- 1024x768 - 6,663,829 (37,34%)
- 800x600 - 4,828,996 (27,06%)
- 1280x1024 - 1,008,177 (5,65%)
- 1152x864 - 575,498 (3,22%)
- 1600x1200 - 246,652 (1,38%)

Yep...times have definitely changed

Anyone remember Sexy Kara?

Yo Adrian · 11-17-2003, 03:37 PM

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

Nathan · 11-17-2003, 03:49 PM

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

RAM · 11-17-2003, 04:37 PM

Looks like the 1024x768 are starting to catch on...!!!

BRISK · 11-17-2003, 05:25 PM

It will be a better world when all the 800x600 people finally upgrade to 1024x768

GrimShawn · 11-17-2003, 05:26 PM

yeah but seems that 35-40% of all users are on 8X6

Za Ha · 11-17-2003, 06:47 PM

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.
