I'm glad to hear from you that this appears to be a "norm" or standard for the screens. Thanks!

Jeffery If you have a CRT monitor, you can change the resolution easily, depending on what resolutions the graphic card is able to display. But LCD's should always be set on the default resolution otherwise you get a very fuzzy picture. When selling websites we work with a supposed resolution of 1024x768 or higher. People with smaller resolutions than that are used to scroll around when surfing so there is no need to take special care of them. Usually I take care that a 1024 user does not need to scoll in both directions horizontally and vertically, which is a pain. Some html designs allow a flexible size with a "liquid" page layout, but this has other limitations and we do not use it much. Newer laptops often have more resolution than 1024x768, especially those with a 16:9 screen. I use two monitors with each 1600x1200 on my workstations since this resolution was available for graphic cards and monitors, and that's more than 10 years ago. Actually I have two 22" LCD screens with a GeForce 6800 256MB. Couldn't imagine to work with less than 2 monitors. It's like a second car. You don't really need it but once you have it you would never miss it again. Didier >My computer monitor is currently set up for 1024 x 768. Is that the >setting most of you use?
