For 2012 - take note of the bottom paragraph on the linked website for Windows 8 targeted resolution (1366x768)

Move Over 1024×768: The Most Popular Screen Resolution On The Web Is Now 1366×768

Screens with a 1024×768 resolution are a bit like Windows XP: there have long been better options, but they still remained the most often used screens on the web. That is, until now. According to the latest data from StatCounter, 1366×768 screens just surpassed 1024×768 as the most popular screen resolution used by the visitors to StatCounter’s global network of sites. Three years ago, 1024×768 still accounted for almost 42% of all visitors to the roughly three million sites that use StatCounter. Today, that number has fallen to 18.6% and 1366×768 screens now account for 19.28%, up from just 0.68% in May 2009.

I use the 'recommended' 1600 x 900 on my laptop and have been using 1680 x 1050 on my desktop PC for a few years now.

With the proliferation of 1920 x 1080 screens, I'm surprised that it hasn't gone higher, sooner. I guess those really cheap 720 monitors are still flowing through the market.

Certainly predominant in Thailand and mainly, as you mention, low prices. Also add the netbooks to the list where that is pretty standard size though a relatively small market share.

Those stats seem to differ a lot from these;

Puts 1024 at 13% beginning of 2012.

Guess a lot to do with the massive amount of low/mid level laptops flooding the market.

Look at any it mall and I would say you see 75% of laptops and 25% of desk tops on sale...

Guess most desktops run at higher resolutions...
