POLL: Is it time to widen our web page?

[Michael Blakely]

Our web page is currently 1024 pixels wide, the standard for monitors and video cards some 5-10 years ago. Is it time to widen our screen?

Pros: It would show our screen shots without horizontal scroll bars, and show linked images at higher resolution.
Cons: If you don't have a high enough resolution monitor, you would have a horizontal sroll bar for all pages, especially if viewing on a tablet or smartphone

(p.s. if someone will tell me the most awesome resolution I'll gladly vote for it)

Vote for the higbest one.

While 1280x1024 might hold true for most monitors that we as a community have in use, I will tell you to check your own machines to make sure. I thought my monitors were 1280x1024 but they are actually FHD at 1920x1080. My laptop monitor is 1440x900 which makes it WXGA+. Leave it to me to be the oddball. My Windows Phone has a WVGA resolution 800x480.

Just as a reference,
High-definition television (HDTV) resolutions are:
720p (1280 × 720 progressive scan)
1080i (1920 × 1080 split into two interlaced fields of 540 lines)
1080p (1920 × 1080 progressive scan)

Most all monitors are a minimum of 1440 x 900 (and it is an older computer)and my laptop is 1366 x 768 so I'm thinking we can go to 1280 without causing much of a problem for the majority of pilots. 1440 would be ideal for me.
