But is screen size relevant at all? My screen size is 1280x960, but my browser
windows are seldom wider than 800 pixels, simply because real world
pages are either fixed layout limited to that width or if flexible layout, 800
pixels usually results in optimal line lengths for reading the main content.
(long text lines are very hard to read efficiently)
