I'm very interested to see which resolution people prefer/use the most. I happen to love 1026 x 768, everything is so much easier to see.

I use 1024 x 768 because my monitor is a 17 inch

I read that for 15 inch monitors 800 x 600 is better, so if i got a 21 inch monitor i would be using 1600 x 1200( like thats going to happen any time soon:) )

Ah, I see.

I actually found this neat site that has statistics of a screen resolution tracker: http://wondermill.com/sitelaunch/sl_stats.htm
Apparently 800 x 600 is the most popular.

Probably because thats how most computers ship and the average user doesnt know about resolutions and such

My resolution would look better if it was 1024 x 768, supposedly, but I prefer 800x600. It makes my screen nice and big...;)

I use 1024x768, I find it doesn't give me a headache like 800x600 does. Not sure what size the monitor is, it only looks to be about 15" though. Works for me :P

On the computer I share with my family I use 1152 by 864 (I would want it bigger but then my mom can,t see!) and it is 17 inches. I am going to eventually buy a 19 inch monitor for the computer in my room and then it will be as big as possiable! I think it makes the webpages all look nicer.

I use 800 x 600.. 1024 x 768 looks too small to me.. either that or I'm really accustomed to 800 x 600 already=)

I have either a 17 or 19 inch screen, and our resolution has been 1024x768 for as long as I remember :D

Weird considering the fact most people I know use 1024x768
