Comment(by iliketor):

 I definitely support PDE's opinion on the subject.

 However, in case the current "round to 50px" feature is retained, can
 common resolutions be excluded from the rounding? For example, my current
 resolution is the fairly common 1280x720: with torbutton enabled, it gets
 reported as a very unusual resolution which actually lowers my anonimity.

 This is important because many third-party ad/analytics services don't
 store the IP address of the user (or the fact that he was browsing from a
 Tor exit node) but they DO store the screen resolution. Tor users
 therefore become readily identifiable via their unusual screen resolution,
 while they could have been easily hidden in the general public.

 Considering how widespread services like Google Analytics are, I think
 this would be an important enhancement for Torbutton.
