What's your screen resolution?

[deadserious]

What's everyones screen resolution and which resolution do you design websites in?

 

[bobbi]

800x600

I find that 1024 makes everything too small and well I'm just used to 800x600.

 

[Widescreen]

spooky

i just put this very same question on my site poll tonight lol

mines 1152 x 864

 

[Widescreen]

oh and i design for 1024 x 768 or what the client wants :D

 

[deadserious]

Mines 1024 X 768 , but I always design my websites at 800X600

 

[DarkDevil]

1280x1024

Heh, i always thought that was normal, specially amoung the artistic group of computer users (graphic artists, 3d designers, website developers). I guess not.

 

[deadserious]

I don't think 1280x1024 is normal. But yea alot of the intense graphic art users probably use a higher resolution then others. :D there is still alot of people that use the old 800X600

 

[pistol]

1024x768. sometimes I'll switch back to the old trusty 800x600 when i'm doing web design.

 

[daisha]

1024x768

i switch to 800x600 depending on who im designing for. on my of my designs for personal use, i make them for 1024x768 cause i mess up while doing it. MWAHHAAHHA

screen

Specially for web i am using 1024x768 ...but if i am creating design with more details or something special for print i am using 1600x1200 or 2048x1536... so i can see everything in real mode.

 

[Ryders]

1280 x 1024 around here.. and I usually try to have my designs being 800x600 compliant...!

 

[DarkDevil]

yea, i didn't mention that... i try to make my sites 800x600 compliant also, though i'll be happy the day computers come stock 1280x1024

 

[theups]

1024x768 and I desgin for 1024x768

 

[maxmedia]

1280x1024 thats what I use, but I will design the site for 800x600, whits is the resolution most of my clients use, by having my resolution I will not get some nasty suprises when I precent a job, what I mean is that if you design in 800x600 you could make mistakes that you cant detect

[morbidman]

1152 x 864 is the only way to go m8!

 

[DarkDevil]

I find that if i work in 1240x1024 i always find a way for it to work in 800x600 but it still looks good at high-res because i work in high-res. Know what i mean? like, someone could work in 800x600, and it'll work for 1240x1024, but it'll be small, and look like it was designed for small-res only. Atleast in my experiance.

My screen resolution is 1024x768. I can't stand anything less. Images, windows etc. too big if you go under 1024x768

 

[Rowan W]

1280x1024 is technically the wrong resolution, because it doesn't follow the same ratio as 800x600 and 1024x768.

I use 1280x960, and I design for 800x600+.

edit: Just realised how old this thread is. :s

 

[calian]

1400 x 1050 on this machine. 800 x 600 on my laptop and 1024 x 768 on my desktop. 1024 is usually my preferred resolution on a 20" monitor but sometimes being able to jump up to 1600 x 1200 comes in handy for development purposes.

 

[dpk87]

1152 x 864

I'd be even bigger though if it didn't effect my monitors refresh rate..

 

[primacomputer]

The screen resolutions I use are: 240x320*, 320x240, 1024x768, 768x1024*, 1280x1024*, 1024,1280, 1600x1200, 1200x1600. (* are the ones I use most)

When I design for a PDA I design for 240x320 but take care to make sure the site takes advantage of landscape as well.

I design most sites for 1024x768, however I often allow for a reasonable sized favourites bar to be displayed in the browser as well. This comes out to be just a bit bigger than designing for 768x1024 (no favourites bar). Where feasible I will usually make part(s) of the page stretchable to accommodate widths of 768 to 1024.

I rarely design for 1280x1024. If I do, the right part of the screen is just a bar with some crap on it, internal links, etc. So many people never see it that it's not worth spending time on.

 

[snoopi]

1024 X 768 is the default nowadays...

 

[superprogrammer]

1024 X 768

 

[Virgil]

At work: 1280x1024 (two 20" monitors!) :D
At home: 1024x768

I always design with the average user in mind so, 800x600 as a base (I check the stats in all websites, and so far it's about the 80% of the user's resolution, sometimes more, some times less. I've noticed that gaming site's visitors use slightly better resolutions in average (I wonder why?) even higher in average than design oriented website's visitors!.

 

[RTM]

I use many machines, mainly 1280 or wider...

But I would generally design for 1024x768...
