Screen Size & Laptop Vs Desktop

[+spyder8]

In looking over some Geocaching and related websites,

I was curious what screen size folks are mostly using -

I tried to start a poll, but that function must be restricted.

 

Anyway, was wondering what folks are using,

and do they run full-screen browser, or reduced ?

Here's my grouping -

 

Dell desktop - 800x600

Dell laptop - 1024 x 768

Toshiba laptop - 800x600

IBM thinkpad - 1024x768

[+Renegade Knight]

Laptop 1440 x 900

Desktop 1024 x 768

[+Cardinal Red]

IBM thinkpad - 1400x1050

[+Markwell]

Desktop home 1024x768

Laptop 1024x768

[+cache_test_dummies]

Dell laptop - 1400x1050

Dell laptop widescreen

 

1920 X 1200

[+Marietta Moose]

Desktop 1024 x 768

Laptop 1024 x 768

 

Higher resolution are getting just too difficult for me to read. My age related issue not a computer one.

[+StarBrand]

2 desktops - both 1024 x 768

 

1 desktop (with 19" LCD) 1280 x 1024 - I rarely use full screen here

 

Laptop - 1024 x 768 *

 

As a side note I host a number of websites and keep statistics on most visitors screen size (it is automatic). This changes with time but composite for these webs I host over the past 3 months.

 

640 x 480 - 8%

800 x 600 - 27%

1024 x 768 - 55%

1280 x1024 - 4%

 

Other 6%

 

(* I seriously need a life now that I consider the fact I have 5 computers...)

Desktop 1024 x 768

On the sites I run, 1024 x 768 is by far the most common. But larger displays are getting more and more popular. My current home laptop is 1680x1050.

At home 1600x1200

On the road 640x200

How do you get the browser screen size ?

I don't see it in my web logs, just the browser attributes

tnx -

Screen resoultion etc is tracked using javascript. I have an account ( free ) with http://www.statcounter.com/ that counts just about everything related to web traffic on my sites. It is done by including a little snippet of javascript on each page. Nothing is visible to the end user.

laptop - 1024x768 (that's all she has)

 

desktop - 1280x1024 - 19" flatpanel

anything else is way to small to see

As mentioned earlier I have a 1680x1050, and no problems reading the screen. The trick is to adjust the font size as the resolution increases. On windows this can be done by clicking Control Panel->Display->Appearance->Advanced, selecting the appropriate user interface element and fiddle with the font size till it is nice and readable.
