Because you know, Messenger needs a big monitor. When you have messenger, itunes, firefox, ect up all at the same time and prefer them not to overlap one another so you can see them at the same time, yes, it does.
I suppose tabbing can be hard for the average human being.

My desktop is 1280x1024 and my laptop is 1360x768.
FWIW I like the 1280x1024 better then the widescreen.

I like 1280x1024 but that's mainly cause I've had this monitor for over 6 years so I'm really used to it :)
I've tried using a higher resolution monitor but idk the text is just so super tiny- and if you don't use the recommended resolution (highest basically) then it just looks funny. My friend sends me screen shots from her comp and the text box is maybe 1/4th full and the rest is just blank- looks odd and is so so small.
This from w3schools is kinda interesting.. can click the current months 'higher' to see exactly what other resolutions.

FWIW I like the 1280x1024 better then the widescreen. 1210720(1280x1024) vs 1044480(1360x768) pixels. Your desktop has a bigger viewing area. I'd probably like it better also, given the choice.

I mean I like the 4:3 monitor better then the 16:9 wide screen monitor. It just seems like most things are stretched out more on the 16:9. :/

No, now you're being a moron. Tabbing has nothing to do with it and if you had any reading comprehension whatsoever. I like being able to view them at the SAME TIME. What does alt tab have to do with that? I like being able to watch a youtube video and use my messenger at the same time instead of my messenger overlapping my video, thus having to pause it just to type to someone.

1920x1200 on main monitor, 1280x1024 on the second. However, the largest I tend to have a web browser is maximized on the 1280x1024.

Old gamers are used to play games in 800/600 anyway, even in 2010.
I'm 28. I'm an "old gamer". Please don't dis me unless you know me. I played games on an Atari at god knows what resolution, off of an RF-switch connected to a pair of bunny ears.

I used to play games at 80x25 with ASCII graphics! Screw this new fangled high resolution bull crap! 64k is all you'll need!

Pretty much. 2048x1152 on my desktop and 1440x900 on my laptop.

My laptop screen is 1366x768. The monitor it connects to while I'm at work is 1280x1024.
1280x1024 is probably also my resolution at home on my desktop monitors. (Actually, my second desktop is 1024x768 I think.)

you can make it a Fixed-Width Layout, Liquid Layout or a combo of the two.

1440X900 on the lappy, 1920 x 1080 on the desktop. Both used for browsing the web and playing games.

Oh, my previous set up is when my laptop is hooked up to my external monitor. Anytime I'm laptop only, I play in 640x480 for simultaneous multitasking.

2048x1152
tho Browser downscaled to 1600x1024 ^^
Since I'm redesign the site, and the site been ffxi related I decided this would be the best place to get the answer from a ffxi fan point of view.
What Screen Resolution do you use on your PC?
1. 800x600
2. 1024x768
3. 1152x864
4. 1280x720
5. 1280x768
6. 1280x800
7. 1280x960
8. 1280x1024
9. 1360x768
10. 1600x900
11. 1600x1024
12. 1600x1200
13. 1680x150
The reason why I'm asking, is because I'm planning on redesigning my website.
And instead of having a flexible width (Which gives me a headache when dealing with pixel and % based table width).
I am looking to use a fix width so I have better control over the layout and allowing it to look the same no matter what width is used above the target.
