Comments on: Is it time to abandon 800×600? http://www.yugatech.com/blog/the-internet/is-it-time-to-abandon-800x600/ Philippines, Technology News & Reviews Sat, 22 Nov 2008 20:03:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: luis http://www.yugatech.com/blog/the-internet/is-it-time-to-abandon-800x600/#comment-21333 luis Thu, 18 May 2006 00:36:47 +0000 http://www.yugatech.com/blog/?p=844#comment-21333 The worldwide percentage is actually closer to 20% still using 800x600. (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp) The mistake that people usually make when trying to decide which minimum-resolution to support is to simply look at their visitor stats and assume that the 800x600 portion is decreasing. That may be true, but there are 6.5 billion people in this world that have yet to go online (and are expected to do so quite soon), and I don't think they will be hopping on with anything more than the minimum 800x600.

I, for one, prefer to have my browser floating just above my other windows (IM, folders, etc.), be it on my 1024x768 laptop screen or 1600x1200 desktop screen. Nope.

Besides, even if everyone use 1024 pixel-wide monitors, it would still be easier to read 700 pixel-wide text. Nope, I won’t abandon over 16% of my visitors.
