Topic: Your website's best viewed Resolution setting

I was wondering, with all the advancements in screen resolution does anyone format their websites to look best at any particular resolution? Or make smaller ones, such as 800x600, not as user-friendly in comparison to, say, 1024x768?

My old layout worked with any resolution, but my current one works best with a 1280x1024 resolution, though anything 1024x768 and above works just fine from what I've tested.

I opted to not shrink it this time around because very few of my visitors were actually using 800x600. 800x600 will still work, but it requires horizontal scrolling. Not ideal, I suppose... But with a majority of people using 1024x768 and higher, and with computer defaults being set to higher these days, I figure it was an acceptable issue.

The vast majority of my visitors use 1024x768, so I try to make sure it looks the best in that one.

Yeah, I go for the 1024 setting, though my laptop is higher, making it sometimes difficult to see some glitches.

I keep the content area of my site at 900 pixels wide. The EEE pcs and people with 800x resolutions will just have to scroll.

After careful monitoring of people's setups via the stats for another site I run, I concluded that very few people (0.9% over the last 30 days) are using a resolution of 800x600 so I decided to abandon it.

Odd-Fish is therefore designed to look good at 1024x768 or above. (97% over the last 30 days)
The site itself 911px is wide with the actual strip at 850px

1024x768 is the standard display I built my site for, w/ all the important stuff above the break.

My strip is 800 wide, and I have played with it up to 900.

1280x1024 FTW! But I know most people are on 1024x768. I even build websites with that resolution in mind (and with the evil IE6 in mind!).

My comicpages are created with a size of 995x475. So they should work in everything from 1024x768 upwards just fine.

Apparently lots of people come to my sites on 1280x1024. Mine is 1152x864, but my web designs are mostly for 1024x768. I won't design for any smaller than that too, since things look awful on 800x600 anyway.

(There's also a lot of "unknown" sizes. Hmm.)
