Browser Display Statistics
What is the trend in browser usage, display colors and
screen resolution?
Web Statistics and Trends
Statistics are important information. What you can read from the statistics
below is that most users are
using a display with 1024x768
pixels or more, with a color depth of at least 65K colors.
W3Schools is a website for people with an interest for web technologies.
This fact indicates that the figures below might not be 100% realistic.
The average user might have display screens with a lower resolution.
Anyway, our data, collected from W3Schools' log-files over five years, clearly shows the long
and medium-term trends.
