statistics question?
 

hey ppl... does anyone know what the current statistics are for what people use as their monitor resolution?

i know it used to be that most people used 800x600, but i would have thought more people would have been going to atleast 1024x768 by now, with the lcd's becoming more common...

1 1024 x 768 51.50%
2 800 x 600 25.97%
3 1280 x 1024 15.45%
4 1600 x 1200 2.58%
5 1152 x 864 2.15%
6 Unknown 1.50%
7 640 x 480 0.86%




Thats from my stats for today

majority of webmasters use 1024x768... many are higher.

majority of surfers still use 800x600.

That's all ya need to know.

Not exactly true anymore.

I have 1024 as main resolution on 4-5 of my domains i just checked...and its surfers not webmasters

They are slowly coming around, but it's still best to design for 800x600 so that your designs will work for everyone.

I still design for 800x600.... 1024x768 hasen't taken over yet

Definately. always make sure they look good in that res then you cant go wrong.

There are still a good chunk of surfers with 800x600 but I see several big sites designing for 1024x768.

I tried the script to detect resolution and redirect appropriately but it seemed to slow page load time

Same here.

:2 cents:

yes i too still design for 800x600, but i cant wait for people to come around and start using atleast 1024x768...

cheers for the updates people :thumbsup
