    Hi,
    I am looking for a monitor resolution that would make my website well displayed in a standard format in which it would fit any type of screen size, my PC at work is 15", my laptop is 17 " and my site looks different in each one of them, is there any way how make it look the same please

    I don't really understand your question. If you run both monitors at 800x600 (or whatever), then at least you'll see the same amount of stuff on your screen.

    Regarding the design... You can use absolute (e.g 800px) or relative (e.g 80%) width etc. Same with fonts. I generally use fixed widths, and have only recently decided to stop designing to accommodate 800x600 (it ain't 1995 anymore!). What is your url?

    What type of site do you have? I'm guessing it's not a fixed width site that's why the look is not constant across different screen resolutions.

    If you want your site to look the same across screen resolution, go with fixed width.
    Making it look across different browsers and platforms is another story though, so I'd suggest you test your site on different browsers and platforms as well.
