Really amazing. Thanks a lot. I’d keep that in mind for my next project.

Thanks. I think 980 will become our standard.

thanks for this update. I usually make 960, but every time I had a new project I was reluctant restricting it to this size. seeing the most big sites using around 980, I would prefer using this. and I think the reason they are not choosing 1024 is that there are still many monitors in many parts of the world where the resolution is less. 980 should be a good thing.
thanks again for the analysis and data.

It’d be good to get an update on the figures as I’m currently looking to redesign my website. Would the best fit still be 1024 x 768?

[...] 768px. However if you need more extra room it will flow outside your fixed pixel setting. • Click here to check the list of widths of what other websites are [...]

Third the comment to at least design for side-by-side windows. Not many people normally use their browser full-screen, it’s always in a window, usually not more than 2/3rds to 3/4ths the screen size. So don’t think that maximum full-screen monitor resolutions actually reflect what you should design to.

My .css files can have numbers such as 980 px coded or it can have percentages. If I chose a percentage, say 90% would that take care of the browser, monitor, and display settings better than a fixed number?

To echo the above… please consider designing for side-by-side windows on a 1080p display (1920×1080) without a horizontal scroll bar. (Don’t forget to account for the borders and vertical scroll bar.)

I personally like around 850-900px because it allows me to perfectly have two screens open at the same time (1920×1080 with standard browser margins). I find that facebook/others with almost 1000px can get a bit annoying.
