Screen Resolution

I'm curious as to what screen resolution most people use. The reason is because it will help me for web design, though most websites I've seen fit on a 1024 x 768 screen, some do not.

The issue is some have 4:3 and some have 16:9, so I suggest you take one of two routes:
1. Design for the majority resolution, probably what you use.
2. Design dynamically so any resolution works. This means a lot of % in your code

At the moment I only know some basic HTML. I'm still working on learning tables o_O!

I have a 21 inch monitor with a resolution of 1680x1050, my sister has a laptop with a 15 to 17 inch monitor with the same resolution, most people I know don't have a resolution under 1280x800 (or similar)

I use a 1024x768 screen resolution, on a 19" monitor. Would never want to use a bigger resolution on that monitor as it would hurt my eyes.

Wow that is so low, I just set my screen to that resolution and everything is so massive I can't function properly.

My resolution is 1366x768 on a CQ56. I'm happy they got in the CQ57's at walmart instead now - they look like a really good system despite the odd arrow key setup.

At least it's not as low as 800x600, the screen resolution I had on my old computer (where it had a 15" CRT monitor).

My is 1920 by 1080 on a 17" screen.

My computer runs on a television. Big enough? I think not.

1360x768. I'm thinking about getting a second screen for the heck of it. Dual televisions FTW.

I use a resolution of 1440 X 900.

Me too.

The little web design that I've done was full of percentage widths to make sure it works nicely on any reasonably sized monitor. I find it irritating when a website is only using the middle third of the screen on big displays :/

My monitor's only 1280x800, though.

I alternate between a 1440x900 res at my parents and a 1920x1800 at my place.
