It's the 4:3 1920 resolution. It falls under 2048x1536 and above than 1600x1200. Some CRT screens that can't quite do 2048x1536 (namely some shadow mask ones) will instead max out at 1920x1440.

I find its much more pleasant to read websites or any type of text for that matter, when they don't span across the entire screen. This is true for 16:10 but its going to be even more of an issue for me on 16:9.

Why not run your browser at less than maximum? I really find it just a little odd how anyone with a screen over about 1280x1024 would run their browser maximized. I don't. In fact, my browser window is probably only a little smaller than ~1280x960. Even if you're doing nothing else and don't "need" the space, websites simply aren't built for those higher resolutions, and it just looks odd, and you end up with problems like you described. I can't believe people with 1680x1050, or even 1920x1200, resolution screens run their browser window maximized, namely for the reason you described, but to each their own.
