Some Media Queries for Responsive Design

Now a days web is moving towards the responsive design. Media Queries are playing a Major role in creating responsive sites.

Without Media Queries its almost impossible to have the Responsive Design. Using Media Queries we can write CSS specific to device like monitor, smartphone, tablets.

Media Queries are Backbone of Responsive Designs.

In this article I am going to share some Media Queries I have collected so far. I might be wrong in some case but no worries comments are always open to point that. I am dividing these in three parts Like Media Queries for Monitors, Media Queries for Smartphones, Media Queries for Tablets.
