*how do they track this kind of stuff?*via javascript - your browser, browser verson, OS, and screen resolution are all super easy to get.

This is important news, aside from webpage development this is a very important story with far reaching applications.

On my primary computer and my office computer, I use 1024x768. I'd use 1280x1024, but 15" monitors don't support it. On my laptop I am forced to use 800x600 because it won't work at anything higher. It sucks, it's very cramped. My father uses 800x600 on his computer because his vision isn't the best, and he can't read anything higher.

Part of the problem with 800x600 is that most old computer setups, out of the box, are defaulted to that resolution. While most video cards within, say, 5 years, can handle at least (or at most) 1024, a lot of people are clueless on how to, or why to, change the way their screen looks. I'm glad, though, that the common resolution is increasing. Workable desktop space is invaluable. I just wish my freakin' 12" PB had higher than 1024!!! Ugh.

I'm running 3 19" CRT monitors at the moment and I'm going to upgrade to 5 LCD panels (yes my computer supports 5!). I'm currently running at 1280x1024. Have been considering going up to 20" LCDs running 1600x1200, but I think that its really either going to be a choice of me getting glasses, or sticking with 19" LCDs running 1280x1024. I think I'd rather stick with the 19"'s for now and worry about glasses later :P Running 5 on one machine will give me 6400x1024 or 5120x1280 depending on whether I have them portrait or landscape. I'd like to run them all in portrait but on XP you only get a taskbar on one of them which sucks. I tried Ultramon but found it crashed and did strange things. This problem is fixed in Vista though thank god and, I'd have a nice taskbar going over all 5.Anyway I'm tossing up between Samsung 940Bs and Samsung 970Ps mainly because they're height adjustable - obviously the 970P will be better but has anyone been able to compare these monitors to see if its worth the extra money? In Australia, 5 940B's will cost me $2500 and 5 970Ps will cost me $4000. Just wondering if that extra $1500 is gonna be worth it given I'll be keeping them for at least 3 years (or more). Can anyone tell me?
