Mine is 1024 but I think you should consider that most people in graphics industry such as are on this forum will be running higher resolutions (except for me probably) than the average joe on the internet. You might try to search for website statistics and see if you can find an average. I think any over 1024 and the average comuter user will be doing alot of scrolling, even then many will still not see the whole page width.

I designed my web site at 850 wide and then centered the contents to still look good on wider screens. But yet, anyone on a 800 wide screen will get most of it on the screen.
Like Graphics2u said, us in the graphics industry are all well above the average and what our customers are probably set at.

I have a stock pile of those too. Right now my shop is all Mitsubishi and ViewSonic. Some of the new graphic arts professional LCDs are great in terms of color, they will cost you an arm and a leg and they top out at pretty feeble resolution numbers. Until the costs come down on those, and the performance improves a little, I'm staying CRT.

Bogie,
I think 1024 is a safe choice for the web. Initially, I was surprised that the NY Times web size was 800 or so, but they have switched to 1024, which should be a barometer for the way "the masses" view the web. In addition, I think Photoshop CS3 requires a minimum screen size of 1024 x 768. It's hard to believe that many people run 800 x 600 these days.

Print Production Computers - 1920 x 1200
Workstations - 1680 x 1050
FTP Server - 1280 x 800
Laptops - 1440 x 900
Back in 2001 the majority of users who used an 800x600 resolution monitor or smaller was 53% today that number is less then 20% while 1024x768 is the average resolution at about 55% (United States not global) just something to keep in mind while designing for the web.
