Remember that those old sites were designed for CRT monitors which had different characteristics.
- Theodores 9y agoSuch as 800 x 600 pixels, interlaced at 60Hz and arranged on a curved 17" screen. Designing for 1024 x 768 would be pushing it, had to play safe with 800 x 600 for common sense usability reasons.
- projektfu 9y agoOn a 14 inch monitor, 800x600 pixels gave about 72dpi, while 1024x768 gave a much less legible 90dpi. At the time, a point would equal a pixel. So the average user in 1995 had a 14 inch monitor and ran at 800x600. However, I've never seen interlaced 800x600.
