I am building an interactive web site, adn I want to base it on average screen resolution of a user. Please post what you think it is. ill use the majority answer

Although a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 is predominant in the US, Europe, and Japan, in some areas, such as South East Asia, smaller screen sizes such as 800 x 600 may still be common.

I still notice most average surfers use 800x600 , while web developers and the such use higher resolutions.
Always develop for 800x600

If you're doing that kind of site then simply build something that looks good in 800x600 AND 1024+. It's really not hard to do and should be something anyone designing a site does by default anyway.

very true anyways you can code some auto page resize addons or plan some site versions.

1024x768 is more than 50% now.

But I would still design for an average of 800x600.. it'll be a bit yet before it's relegated to a super clear minority.

You could also have your site detect the resolution and adjust accordingly.

I'd say build for 800x600.

My laptop is 1280x800 widescreen.

Another vote for 800x600

WickedVenus · 09-27-2004, 07:03 PM

ok so 800 it is thanks guys. I figured that much, but wasnt sure what the majority use.

1024 x 768 but I still design all my sites at 800 x 600 just to accomodate everyone. Pretty soon 1024 will be default but until then, I cater to all!

Why penalize someone for having a retarded screen res? If you design your sites at 800 x 600 EVERYONE can see EVERYTHING!
