mine is the 17" CRT monitor which is massive and taking loads of space. ive seen loads of 15" in schools, cyber cafes, libraries, etc. but the screen size is 1024 by 768. almost everyone uses this size on their computer. so i recommend using this size for basicing your site on this.

to make your site grow or shirnk make its all "tackey"... you can make the tables wich have "undefined values" in them so it would fit the area of the browser even if you resize it.

hope this helps!

the avarage monitor size is probably about 17 inches. 17 inches is fine for pretty much anything.

there are different types of monitors to consider such as crt or lcd.

lcd is a good space safer but they have slower response times than crt.

I've got a 15 inch Samsung LCD. I love it, there wasn't enough room for a CRT where my computer is.

Since I am on a laptop, with a 15" TFT that is my screen size. I used to have a 19" CRT monitor which gave me a massive headache after a few hours of working on the pc, with the TFT that issue seems to have gone away (I once made it to about 14 hrs with only bathroom breaks, getting coffee - loads of it LOL - away from the pc). So when I finally save up the money for a decent desktop, I am going to get a 17" or 19" TFT.

I did discover one big disadvantage with TFTs, maybe it is because this is an older model (1996 laptop). For some reason when I make banners or any kind of graphics, I heard people with CRTs say that the colours were different. I don't really know how that works or why it is. I always thought that using HEX codes for colours would make it straight forward LOL, but then again I can be very wrong.

As far as the HTML goes, just stick with relative width and height, and keep graphics like banners at 480px or 600px width max I think. The background (of the frame or tablecell) can be kept at a colour closely matching the overal colour of the graphic that way you cover up a smaller graphic for those with bigger screen resolutions smile.gif That's how I do it anyway smile.gif

I currently have a 15" Sony LCD monitor, but I will be getting a 24" Samsung widescreen LCD monitor with my new computer. These days, widescreen monitors are more popular over 4:3 resolution monitors.

the monitor size doesn't say a thing about the resolution the operate at, especialy CRT screens. I have two 17" CRTs that can do 1600x1200, I've had some other 17" CRT's that didn't go higher as 1280x1024 and I've even seen one that stopped at 1024x768 ... You have to think in pixels, not in inches.

For coding your website, the best thing is to have a few blocks that have a fixed with (eg. a row on the left and the right) and other parts that have a relative size (in percents). You can easily do this with some CSS (width: 200px or min-width: 120px; max-width: 250px).

We recently purchased a new computer with a 22" widescreen monitor that can do 1650x1050. I have it set at 1440x960 pixels and it looks awesome!

My older computer had a 17" monitor that had a maximum screen resolution of 1280x1024.

Either way, I would recommend using a liquid layout (widths in percents and ems) to accomodate most screen resolutions and browser sizes (you can't count on the user having the browser maximixed at all times).

If you do need to use a fixed width layout, I would recommend making it a width of 1008 pixels to satisfy a minimum screen resolution of 1028x768.
