If your site is already active, I suggest looking at your Google Analytics reports.

You DO have Google Analytics setup right? =)

In GA, under Visitors > Browser Capabilities > Screen Resolutions you should see the top 10 resolutions used on your site.

I usually look at the top 3 or so based upon visits to the site, and forget about iPhone and small device resolutions as if there is a high number you are better off targeting them separately.

Here is the list for my top 10 based upon visits for one site for the past few weeks.

Code:
1.	1280x800 	12,082	20.37%	
2.	1024x768	10,853	18.29%	
3.	1440x900	7,542	12.71%	
4.	1280x1024	7,489	12.62%	
5.	1680x1050	5,250	8.85%	
6.	1366x768	3,599	6.07%	
7.	320x396		1,540	2.60%	
8.	1920x1200	1,424	2.40%	
9.	1152x864	1,422	2.40%	
10.	1920x1080	1,297	2.19%
As you can see, for my particular site, 800x600 isn't even in the top 10. (It shows up at #1 with 1.21%) The 320x396 is a mobile device so I don't need to worry about that. So making my site with a minimum of 1024x768 resolution in mind will take care of 80%+ of my particular visitors. (I also was running Tapatalk for my iPhone/Android visitors, however, when I did poll my visitors they said they were also ok with zooming in/out. Waiting for the 4.x version to be available.)

And based upon other sites stats, I am pretty comfortable with the 1024x768 baseline. Of course, your site might vary and that is why I suggest looking at your Google Analytics reports. It is possible that your particular demographic does use widescreens more but in general 1024x768 is the norm.
