Hi,
What is the standard display resolution used today?
I am just wondering.

Hi,
What is the standard display resulation used today?
I am just wondering.

Most people use 1024x768, but...
People that older OS set their screen lower than 800x600.
Most people that use newer oses use 800x600 or higher

There's no such thing as "standard" resolution, but there's the most common one.

BTW, it's spelt as "resolution".

My resolution - 1680 x 1050 (Apple Cinema Display 20") at home
and
1024 x 768 (Apple PowerBook 12") on the go.

I personally use a 1024x768 display resolution, on a 17" monitor. 800x600 is the highest resolution I will tolerate on a 15" CRT, which quite a few people still use.

W3Schools publish display resolution percentages and trends on their statistics page. While this only reflects visitors to their website, their statistics for July 2004 are:

[tt]640x480: 1%
800x600: 35%
1024x768: 50%
Higher: 10%
Unknown: 4%[/tt]

I also use 800x600 on Windows 98 SE with a 15 inch monitor.

On my PC, I generally have it set to 800x600. My iBook uses 1024x768.

Hi,
I use 1360x768 on a 17 and 21 inch monitor.

There's no such resolution, unless you have a very unusual widescreen display setup.

Since that's an unusual 16:9 widescreen resolution, do you have widescreen monitors?

Hi,
No.
Why?

[DJGM]

Then why are you using a widescreen resolution on monitors that are not widescreen?

Or do you like to have the cinema style letterbox effect on your computer display(s)?

By my reckoning, you have computer displays that look like this . . .



Why?
