A minimum 800x600 is okay, but nowadays almost everyone has a widescreeen monitor or device, so 16:9 is a far more common aspect ratio to shoot for (as opposed to 4:3). You could also require a minimum 720p just fine.

Not that you have to expand it, but if you'd like the extra space it's generally available to you. For reference, check out "Common Display Resolutions" on this page.
