I do 3 sizes, usually
1920x1440
1920x1200
1920x1080
I suppose it's time to make them bigger as newer screens have better res.

Only trying to help use the information as you please.
My Screen is 1920x1200, Now my next Monitor which will be a 28 inch variety, as opposed to my current 24 inch most likely will be 2560x1600

I have a 1366x768 which according to your list is a 16:9. I usually do four sizes, 1280x1024, 1400x1050, 1600x1200 and 1920x1440. To do all those would make the zip very very heavy, lol. I'll do one of each aspect ratio. This way everyone can have one. Question. Because my screen size is a 16:9 or 1366x768 wouldn't walls be distorted anyway on screens that are 4:3? When I make a wall it's usually 1280x1024 and resizing to fit my screen stretches them out a bit.

Uvah, if you start with the wide screen aspect and then link your layers, when you size down you can pull the sides out to get them the right size without distortion. It is much easier to size down than it is to size up.

So, basically, if you make one in each aspect ratio, as I do,
than the end user can resize accordingly with no distortion. As I understand it, quite a few users have 1280 x 1024 which is not included in your list.
