Some now use well over 1024x768 resolution, and some use very much
less on some handheld devices, cell phones, etc. If you have an Opera
browser, you can select the view tab and then select the small screen
view that shows how your page looks on a very small screen. Or you can
rather use shift + F11 to do the same thing. If a page views well on
this small screen setting and on 1024x768, then nearly everyone can
view it properly. One main thing to watch is how well text reads at
smaller screen size. Using a fixed font size in pixels often can make
the text nearly impossible to read on the Opera small screen setting.
