Screen Resolution: What setting do webmasters use?

1280x1024 because i used adobe premier pro and I honestly think that any lower resolution and I would not be able to view the work area with any efficiency at all

I have the same problem with Final Cut Pro. Even with two monitors I find myself wishing for more desktop space. Prices on large LCDs like in the 30" size are coming down, wishing, wishing…

Spreadsheets are evil too.

But it still doesn't matter with web sites since I keep my browser window about the same size as a magazine page would be.

That's on my wishlist...I saw a nice 30" LCD at a clients office...I worked on that comp all day long and had withdrawl when I went home and had my 17" waiting for me.

My rich neighbor has one. He doesn't have any programs installed on the computer except for the iApps and stuff that comes with a Mac so it's had to really get a feel for what can be done with this much desktop space.

Most web sites, including my stuff, look ridiculous on it if you surf with the browser full screen.

He uses everything full screen, even something like an open/save dialog.

The first thing I did was check my webpages on it, wasn't easy as they had porn sites blocked, but I just slipped around using a proxy. 30" make webpages look ridiculous.

omg though, did photoshop look sexy at that size. Usually I have my tools panels half minimized or pushed off to the side...a little off the screen. 30" you could keep every tool panel open. I swear I haven't had lust like that over anything in awhile.

Sad thing is that the person I was working for...just used the computer to check email and browse the web. *sigh*
