Its true that a larger monitor may take longer to execute fast paced

Flash animations. This is especially true if they have a large monitor

and a standard graphics card. But, note, most web surfers have 14"

screens and run 640x480. People who have purchased computers in the last

several months are more likely to have a 15" Monitor which most of the

time will be set at 800x600. Large screen computer monitors 17" and up

probably make up aboutn 5 percent of sales of computer montors sales in

the US. Web surfers are only slightly more likely to have a larger

screen size than non-surfers.

AndyArt is a WebSite that is primarily for Web designers and thus you

should take that into account when reviewing his polls.

There are lots of surveys on the Web but few provide any real facts that

you can rely apon.


Unlike browser trends where we have good statistical data there is no

large scale testing of screen resolution that I know of. Also, this

testing would be limited to newer browsers and you can only infer what

size screen a user is using.


Usualy 640x480 means 14" or 15"

  and  800x600 would be likely a 15" or 17".

Higher resolution indicate a 17" screen or larger.
