Best view for websites

I found some websites still have the following footnote at the bottom of  a page:

"This site is best viewed at 1024x768 screen resolution with Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2 or above."

The above footnote is absolutely not necessary. Today, people are using 19 - 22 inches LCD with 16:9 aspect ratio.  Some larger monitors have 22:10 ratio.   1024 x 768 is considered as a poor resolution using the old traditional  4:3 aspect ratio.

Just take away the fucking advice and users will know how to adjust their monitors and video display to achieve the best viewing effect.
