I'm not too surprised that so many are still at 1024. That was a standard for years and some people aren't so techy, so they keep their antiquated equipment well past its reasonable service life. Also some new umpc's and such are at 800 or 1024 wide- those at 800 will be used to scrolling sideways.

What does surprise me is that only 2.5% have a resolution as high as I do (and on a laptop!). I knew it was small and always preview my important work on a second screen... But still, with HD coming on strong I'm surprised that one is so low. I suppose there is no point in offering 1080p for a few more years and can see why most HD in adult is at 720p.
