Resolution?

Who cares?

YOUR VISITORS!

 

  
"Should web graphics be sized for a 800x600 pixel screen? How many folks actually use a smaller screen? Or is 1024x768 safe to use?"

The safest thing is to test your own visitors. I recommend using www.HitBox.com  for at least a month to collect information on visitors' browsers, screen resolution, plug-ins, etc.

"Should web graphics be
 sized for a 640x480 pixel
 screen? How many folks
 actually use this small
 screen resolution? Or is 800x600 safe?"

 
 

 

According to Market share, the global share of 800x600 screen resolution is a little over 2% which can mean a lot of visitors especially for web site that get tons of traffic. The most popular resolution is the 1024 x 768 - my personal favorite because I used it for years till I shifted to my new laptop with 1280x800, which comes second.

 

One of the visitors had an interesting observation. The persistence shown by 800x600 screen resolution may be because of the increased usage of netbooks.
