1028 x 768 has been the most popular resolution for computer users for some time.
But this changed recently to 1366 x 768 (excluding mobile devices).
Why is this so?
Seems to me the reasons for this are as follows. Please post your take this.
#1: LCD displays are replacing CRT monitors.
#2: Like sized 1366 x 768 LCDs are generally less expensive than higher resolution monitors.
#3: 1366 x 768 LCDs displays in common sizes for computer use perform or appear as good as higher resolution displays - from common viewing distances.
Said another way, most people can't tell the difference for their computer uses.
