Web visitors want to know what they are looking at quickly, especially on homepages. The question is, are you taking advantage of this effectively? What does this all mean? It means that more people using computers (in other words, your target audience) have higher screen resolutions than even just a couple of years ago.Īnd these higher resolutions mean more visual real estate for your web site. All monitors come with a factory setting and statistics show that the vast majority are set to 1024×768 or higher.Īccording to, of 6 million visitors to the web site during February of 2008, the screen resolutions broke down like this:Īs you can see in this example, of those 6 million visitors, 80% had screen resolutions of 1024×768 or higher. With computer monitors, you can adjust your screen resolution from its factory default setting.Īs you can see in this example the screen resolution of my screen is 1440 by 900 pixels on a 17 inch laptop monitor, meaning my screen displays approximately 1,296,000 pixels of visual information. The more pixels you are able to display the more visual real estate you have on your screen. Screen resolutions are indicated by a set of two numbers such as 1024×768 – a screen with this resolution can display 1,024 distinct dots (or pixels) on each of 768 lines, which is about 780,000 pixels. The size and quality of your screen is referred to as “Screen Resolution.” Different sizes, different images, different impact. For example, think about a print newspaper and then think about a magazine. Some pieces of paper are bigger than others. Think of your monitor’s screen as a piece of paper.
