So the website should manage different devices with different settings...

It's time to stop web page optimization for specific resolutions. Not everyone surfs in maximized windows.
Try not to hardcode any width in web pages, CSS gives you much better ways to control the layout.

Well, not so sure abut stopping support for lower resolutions.
While its true that most people find it more productive to put more stuff on their screen, I know of at least a couple of people where I work who only feel comfortable with their 17" CRT screen set to 800x600.A anything else and they complain that everthing is too small to see properly.
What they actually need is large pixel size, and to increase their 800x600 resolution while retainin the same pixel size, they would need, at 1024x768, a 21" screen, and at 1280x1024 a whooping 26"...
So not catering for 800x600 would leave a lot of people in difficulty: even if this poll is representative and there are only 3% of people still using 800x600, that's still about 30 millions users if we only consider the total number of internet users (see this stat).

I hate fullscreen browser windows.
Consequently I think web page should be optimised for 800x900 resolution, which the size of my browser window!

I code in in 1600x1200 on the right and on the left I do research and document reading at 1024 x 768 both on 19" monitors.

Hi,
I like to work with the maximum.
I work, at work, Dell laptop, with 1600 x 1200 and I love it. At home 1152 because I can't more.
Now I want to change my laptop, and I want something like 1920x1200, but I'm not sure. I am 40 years old, and it seems to me that my eyes are not the equals than years ago.
Are someone with same problem..........
Bye.

Hi,
If you getting older you do not need more resolution, you need lager pixel. I love my Samsung SyncMaster 275T plus.

Dual monitors are great, but 4 monitors are even better. I've been using 4 monitors for development for a couple of years now and feel absudly cramped without them. The config is 2 1024x768 and 2 1280x1024. In my view it's one of the cheapest productivity boosters you can get -my Dell already had a dual-head Matrox card in so I bought another Matrox PCI double-head card for about £80 ($140). Adequate TFT monitors are now available from £130 ($230), so the cost of going from dual to quad is - in very rough terms - 45p (80 cents) per day over three years.
All you have to do is convince your boss/financial director that your productivity will increase more than $1 a day.

I use dual monitors, both of them having resolution of 1024x768; means i am effictively working on 2048x786 resolution.
PS: and that too because me TFT monitor doesent supports higher resolution. I'd love to work on higher resolutions!!!

Dual flatscreens, 1600x1200 each. Everyone else in the office is still wondering what I did to get them =)

Currently i'm using 1280 at home, but I dream of having one of them uber huge ones at work I have 2 computers instead of dual monitors I run WS_FTP on one (with 3D renders going on in the background) and dreamweaver, flash, photoshop on my other. Our Non-linear editor with dual processors has dual 21'' CRT monitors. Its awesome.

A 19 foot monitor is going some! How far away do you sit?

Indeed; 1280x1024x2. Dual 21" CRT's  but it's better than a single monitor anyway.
Left monitor: VS.NET, Explorer, and e-mail client.
Right monitor: App being debugged, SourceSafe, and an internal debugging tool.
Background builds run on the right monitor too, given that I'm working on four products simultaneously. While one is building, I'm working on another one. Note to self: Either get a faster squirrel or better whip.

D'oh! That's a great idea!
I have my "Compare Versions" view in Visual Source Safe spreading over 2 monitors, so that I see one file on the left and its changes in the new file on the right.

Yes, Nearly Exactly the same, i love using multiple screens, not only dual screens if i am using the desktop computer for work i have 3 screens stretched, i have also been looking at 9xmedia.com, looking at the servers with one computer multiplexed over 32 X 30" by 40" screens - its only from $248,000 to $262,000 excluding $32,000 insurance - ha ha i dont think so - i might wait a while for the prices to fall, lol the total size of the screen is 90" X 400" AWESOME!!!!

2x21 inch at work, and 2x20 inch LCD's at home, both 1600x1200. Could do with another 2 at work, which is not out of the question. Need to move to a desk with more space first.

Dual monitors rule, I can be short about this one.
