| hi there,
i'm wondering if the majority of people out there no longer use the 800 x 600
screen resolution anymore. i used to have it years ago, but over the last few
years the standard monitor seems to be 1024 x 768. i know that we have to check
our designs to also accommodate the 800 x 600 viewer, but wondering how common
that is anymore? any thoughts? is it getting to be obsolete?
:light;

| Screen resolution is irrelevant. All that matters is browser viewport
size. Browser viewport sizes can be anything.

| Hi dan, could you expand on browser viewport? I am not sure if I follow
your comment
I have always tried to target the site dimensions based on the target
audience's resolution I believe they will be using and adjusting it to
best fit the viewing area within the browser... but I can be missing out
on something important

hi peter, thanks very much for your feedback and links on the subject. i found
it to be very helpful and it confirmed the answer to my question. it is: 800 x
600 is not obsolete, but only about 17% of users are viewing the web at that
resolution. 1024 x 768 is by far the most popular at 60% of users. and the
remainder is made up of even larger sized monitors that many people may use for
work, etc. so...the moral to the story is that 800 x 600 still is a decent
percentage to make sure i accommodate with the designs.
thanks!

| You're welcome. A lot also depends on your target audience - for instance,
in the UK, for the educational market, the majority of secondary schools
will run a minimum resolution of 1024x768, whilst the majority of primary
schools will still be 800x600...
