computer screen size - desktop vs laptop


Recommended Posts

In looking over some Scouting and related websites,

I was curious what screen size folks are mostly using ?

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

I;m not much of a techie, but I notice in the last 2 days, my browser (IE6) resets the text size to "Medium" whenever I close it. When I reopen Scouter.com, I have to reset the text to "Largest". Other web sites don't seem to be doing this. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop. As my mother in law says, these things have a mind of their own sometimes.

I also run at the higher (1024 x 768) resolution. I alwyas have to reset my IE to "large" as it never remembers. Then I have to dset it to "smaller" to make sure it prints properly. It's alwyas something, isn't it :>

All of the Web sites that I designed are scaled to fit on a 800x600 display.

 

My PC settings are:

 

1024x768 on the laptop (no external monitor)

1280x1024 on the laptop (17" monitor attached)

1600x1200 on the desktop computer (19" monitor)

 

That way I have more desktop area to work with. I usually have IE, Firefor, Dreamweaver, and something else open at the same time. So far, the eyes can handle it, but I am sure that will change eventually.
