What is the ideal minimum browser resolution? (for custom vbulletin widths)
I have my website set to 1,000 width, which requires 800x600 users to scroll, but is viewable by everyone else.
But, this resolution makes my front page very crowded. I need to widen it by another 100-200px. But, i am afraid it might require a lot of people to scroll then. What is the minimum width that will meet most users screen resolution? I imagine in the age of wide screen LCD's, that users are now viewing at higher resolutions? |

1024 x 768
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp According to the above site only 4% user use 800 x 600 resolution. . |

Mind that these figures relate to the specific website of w3schools. This website caters a specific audience. It is no wonder that they do not see mobile browsing in their stats, while mobile PSP/Xbox/Iphone browsing is rising fast on vbulletin websites.

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% 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.
