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?

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

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

My stats tell me to use 800x600 too :2 cents:

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

from today's stats on my non-adult site

Screen Resolutions Visitors %

1. 1024x768 1416 46.46%

2. 800x600 951 31.20%

3. 1280x1024 253 8.30%

4. 1152x864 98 3.22%

5. 1600x1200 48 1.57%

6. 640x480 34 1.12%

7. 1400x1050 28 0.92%

8. 1280x960 20 0.66%

9. 1152x870 12 0.39%

10. 1440x900 11 0.36%

11. 1280x800 6 0.20%

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.

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.

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%

Unknown 3.89%

640x480 1.22%

1600x1200 1.19%


Looks about the same as the rest of yours.

I miss those days :)

Thanks, anyone else? Please tell, doing a lil study

Well, I see there are a lot of monitors sold last 6 months...
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%)

800 x 600 (45.23%)
1024 x 768 (42.94%)
1280 x 1024 (5.49%)
1152 x 864 (3.36%)
640 x 480 (2.19%)
1600 x 1200 (0.78%)

Yep...times have definitely changed:) Anyone remember Sexy Kara?

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 :)

Last week stats....

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 :(

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

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

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

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.

My November stats so far:

Screen Resolutions Unique Visitors

1024x768 166153 55.64%

800x600 77048 25.80%

1280x1024 28152 9.42%

Other 6004 2.01%

1600x1200 3834 1.28%

640x480 2647 0.88%


I say you MUST code for 800 x 600!

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