Thanks to the sick deal Joe passed onto me I’ve replaced my 19-inch monitor with a 22-inch wide screen monitor. I’ve opted to use my 19-inch as my primary monitor in the past due to not having a real need to complete everyday tasks in my 21-inch monitor, instead I’d only use the larger monitor for MCE, Justin.tv, Hulu and movies. I’ve noticed a large number of websites choose to develop only one layout which normally is geared to include those with much lower resolutions. For those with resolutions nearly double the majority(
1024×768?) these layouts result in large empty spaces on the sides of the webpage, leaving the web browser looking rather lonely.

Here are a few javascript links which will resize the width of the browser window and center the position of it.
In firefox: right click on the link > ‘Bookmark This Link’
Resize window to 1024 => 1024 x 768
Resize window to 1280 => 1280 x 800
Resize window to 1440 => 1440 x 900
Resize window to 1680 => 1680 x 1050
If you wish to modify the javascript: Get current height, width and position.
Edit: Just noticed there is an addon for firefox to do similar.
