Here is an interesting piece of information from w3counter. The median
claim you have seems correct. And about 9% people use 800 by 600 px
resolution. This data is generated on a small subset of websites, however.
Screen Resolutions
1 1024x768 50.90%
2 1280x1024 16.81%
3 800x600 8.93%
4 1280x800 8.20%
5 1152x864 3.99%
6 1440x900 2.77%
7 1680x1050 1.85%
8 1280x768 1.26%
9 1280x960 1.07%
10 1400x1050 1.00%
