All of our sites are at 980 or 1000 wide. The number of tiny monitors out there are only matched by the number of dial up members we have. The huge amounts of blank space surround a site that is viewed on a 23" monitor or above is really disconcerting. I think a lot of this depends on your market. All our video is in 16:9 and while there are larger images, I really like the cinematic view this creates. Another reason to abandon 800X600

Ps: I love the larger laptop monitors but man are they ever a pain in the ass on a plane. I can't even open it all the way unless I am in the emergency exit row (and the privacy film is in place)
