1024x768 - Even on screens where I can get much higher res. I like it that way because when I'm testing layouts I tend to sway towards 1024x768 being the most ideal res to test at... of course I test in other resolutions too but I work in 1024x768.

Ouch! An LCD along with a CRT isn't it painful?

1024 x 768 pixels - the best I can get out of my Laptop. I was annoyed when I first found that out, because my dad's laptop (way more expensive model) supports much higher resolutions, but in hindsight, it's probably best that I do all of my web development in this resolution, instead of a higher, less popular one. :)

1280 x 1024

The thing is, I almost never keep my windows maximized (like my browser window is at 950 x something) because websites just don't look that good when they're stretched that far.

17" CRT @ 1024*768

i design all my 'commercial' sites using 800*600 but all my own 'experiemental' work such as media center on my localhost i use 1024*768 as i need as much screen estate as possible, also it is not meant for anyone else but my home network so i can control what browser / resolution / plugins etc we are using

i use 1024x768, have done for a couple of years. got a 17" CRT, still can't see the point in a TFT, the price:quality ratio is well in favour of CRT still IMO.

ps. lmao @ feyd 1600x1200. 1280x1024 is max i can go to on my old FX5900XT and it hurts my eyes lol. i reckon feyd has square eyes :) does ppi determine entirely what your res can go to or does it depend on the graphics card a bit aswell? if it's entirely ppi then aslong as your response time on your screen is half decent the monitor must have cost you a packet feyd...

ppi sets up the native resolution, but your graphics card also dictates how far you can go and what refresh rates. Most 19" LCD's that I've seen can do 1600 natively, they aren't all that pricey usually...

Not pricey at all. Considering 4 years ago I paid almost £100 GBP for a 17" CRT they are pretty cheap. We got dual 19" LCDs at work in the last few weeks and they were just over £200 GBP each. Heh... I still run them at 1024x768 though :)
