I used to use 1152×864. It worked well on 17" CRTs, and now I look it up, it just fit into 1MB of VRAM in a 256-colour mode.

Also see Sun's 1152×900 and Apple's 1152×870 (albeit that was on a much bigger screen).

Classic MacOS screen modes always tried to deliver square pixels, in contrast to IBM/PC-compatible screen modes where pixels were rectangular. Apple also tried to stick to a consistent 72dpi for a long time.
