I'm using 800x600 anything else looks small and blurry to me, maybe I'm going blind? What should I use?

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.

Don't use anything less than 2048 x 1536

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.
