Title: What is your computer screen resolution?

Thinking of tweaking the forum just a little.  I'd like to know what the screen resolution you usually view the forum at.  If you have multiple places you view it, just vote for your main one.

Thanks!      :Bow:

P.S.  I tried to cover most of the common resolutions.  Let me know if I missed one.

My home pc is 1280x1024.  My work PC is a lot higher.

I think you still have to target 1024x768, Rico.  My readings indicate that's still, far-and-away, the most common setup.

At work we optimize for 1024 x 768.

As recently as January 2008 we were still taking into account 800 x 600 to a certain degree. Recently we've made 1024 our minimum 'nice-looking' resolution.

My main screen is 1680 x 1050 but I usually view the forums on my secondary LCD, which is 1280 x 1024.

One thing you can take into account is that generally you have a slightly more techie audience who will tend to run in higher resolutions.

I hope so.  I'm just shocked at how much 1024 x 768 still seems to be around with all the cheap widescreen monitors these days.

My tower which I use mostly at home is 1024 x 768,

and my MacBook which I use as school is 1280 x 800,

I kinda tend to use the both equally right now, but there has bin mention of setting up a wireless in my house, then it would mostly be my MacBook for me to use.

Looking for folks to update this or new folks to chime in.  Going to tweak the forum a bit so this info will help me out.

Just as a point, sites I'm working on recently (for work) are being optimized to 1024 x 768. my newest site (in development) is fixed width at 980 pixels wide. Sorry 800 x 600 folks, horizontal scrolling for you!

My resolutions remain at:

Monitor 1: 1680 x 1050
Monitor 2: 1280 x 1024

Laptop: 1680 x 1050
