Screen resolution & widescreen format...

tifosi · 26-11-2009, 12:56:05 PM

Hi All

I'm wondering what screen resolutions, and particularly whether widescreen/standard formats you are al using on your pc & laptops.

For years it's all been whether 800x600 or 1024x768. That was fine for 15.4" laptops etc but it has changed a lot in the last couple of years with a move to 17"+ standard laptop screens & 19-21" monitors.

After doing mainly backend systems for a while I'm now doing both. While 1024 seems standard for development it often leads to whacky results when floating divs unless the body container is fixed.

pretty rare for 800x600 thesedays... though I'm not sure what resolution netbooks & 11-14" screens use.
