Interesting stats. And yes I very much recommend Google Analytics.
Some stats I have recently say much the same stuff.
88% of people have a 32-bit display
6% have a 24-bit display
6% have a 16-bit display
The rest aren't worth talking about (256-colors etc)
So there's a small reason to support 16-bit or screens with no destination alpha channel, but most people have 32-bit RGBA.
44% of people use 1024x768 resolution
14% use 1280x800
12.5% use 1280x1024
6.5% use 1440x900
6% use 800x600
4.5% use 1680x1050
3.25% use 1152x864
2% use 1280x768
1.5% use 1920x1200
and it carries on down from there. only about 0.1% use 2560x1600 or 1600x1024.
Looks like most people now are using resolutions between 1000 and 1500 pixels width. 800x600 is almost relegated to the same bracket as people with 16-bit displays. Looks like it's pretty safe to go with 1024x768 if you need a fixed or starting resolution.
