There never has been a standard. Now 800 x 600 is somewhat in the
middle of the range. Many monitors for PCs now are set for well over
1000 px wide, and some even add a second monitor to extend the width
range. On the other extreme, some small devices such as cell phones
are set for much under 800 x 600. If you have an Opera browser, it can
be set to show how your page appears on very small screens. As others
have pointed out, you need to code your page so that at least text can
be easily read over a very wide range of settings. Exceptions might be
if you are writing pages for a network where everyone uses the same
hardware.
