add 1200x900 its what I use, allows more space then 1024x768 and keeps the refresh rate above 75hz. 17"

1280x1024 on my Samsund 19" tft, much better on the eyes (at least for me).

In which case you'd most likely be making a big mistake because if you design sites that aren't visible in someone's chosen browser resolution they're liable to take their custom to someone who doesn't tell them that "this site is best viewed by going around to the designer's house and looking at it on his PC!"

I see what you mean. I guess it depends on who the target audeince will be.
Ideally you would have to design two sites and tell it to auto pick according to resolution.

Ideally people would design their sites according to the W3C and Accessibility guidelines so that resolution and font sizes don't matter.

Sorry, but I think it *is* relevant because, from what I can tell from the OP, it seems that somene's going to be basing how they design a site (partly) on this information :)

1280 by 1024 at home at 75hz and crystal clear.

1600x1200 @ 85hz on 22ins visible monitor.

Its not a case of people just raising the resolution over time, its a case of how big your monitor is.
