Of possible interest as we consider layouts.  Of course, museums know their
own staff computers' capabilities, so this is just one data point. Comments
below are from our UCD list (not me).

The web analytics company StatCounter has some new statistics on
common screen resolutions in use:

http://gs.statcounter.com/press/screen-resolution-alert-for-web-developers

Highlights:

  • 1024x768 has fallen from 41.8% in March 2009 to 18.6% in March 2012.
  • Over the same period 1366x768 has grown from 0.68% to 19.28%.
  • The third most popular size is 1280x800 at 13%.

I wonder how increased phone and tablet use will skew the curves.
