i've started noticing that websites are wider. the traditional 760 pixel sites are now 900+ pixels:
http://sony.com
https://www.smartwool.comwith the higher res monitors everyone is getting, this makes sense.
what size do you design your sites at??

as most will mention - comes down to audience - i still mostly design liquid to 760 - but i rarely deal with sites that push LOTS of page content

More often than not I design for 1024 displays.

I'm ashamed that I've used pixel fonts

We're about to relaunch our site at 910 pixels wide for the main content area.

Lowest common denominator says 760 for me.
A lot of older folks (like my parents) like to run their 19" monitors at 800x600 so they can actually see the text on the screen.
There's no way in hell their eyes could handle the PVN.

I have been noticing this too
for example - http://www.cnn.com/980
according to this - http://www.w3schools.com/browser…
only 20% of users are on 800x600
still study your target though

I'm currently building a 7500 x 3 website.
It's going to be awesome.

with more corporate sites going 1024 like CNN its only going to help push for wider resolutions.
bigger is better and save 760 for seniors sites.

Glad to hear we can finally ignore the siberian dudes with the 800 x 600 monitors running 50 MhZ PCs with 5MB of RAM...

those guys don't have any money to spend... definitely ignore them! (well make em scroll a bit :)

At the same time, why should 80% of us suffer for the other 20% of the user base?
