------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Mar 18 20:48:26 +0000 2008 ------- > My laptop has 110 dpi. ME: LAUGHING ALL OVER I say it again and again (see my previous posts): > Additionally, every user uses different monitor settings, > and the "PPI" will vary greatly from 800*600 to 1600*1200 resolutions. > So, my recommendation: just ignore the PPI whenever the work is intended > solely for onscreen viewing. I cannot overemphasise the previous advice. To better illustrate this point, see the next table. I see my monitor easily beats your "110 DPI LCD"! ;-) MONITORS DPI *APPARENT* resolution of different size CRT monitor screens Screen Size | 14 inch 15 inch 17 inch 19 inch 21 inch [Pixels] monitor monitor monitor monitor monitor 640 x 480 | 66 dpi 60 dpi 51 dpi 44 dpi 40 dpi 800 x 600 | 82 dpi 75 dpi 64 dpi 56 dpi 50 dpi 1024 x 768 | 106 dpi 97 dpi 82 dpi 71 dpi 64 dpi 1280 x 1024 | 132 dpi 121 dpi 102 dpi 89 dpi 80 dpi 1600 x 1200 | 165 dpi 151 dpi 128 dpi 111 dpi 101 dpi [from http://www.scantips.com/no72dpi.html] The explanation is just wonderful, and I am too lazy to explain it myself, so please read this excerpt: > The numbers 72 and 96 dpi do sort of exist (in their imaginary way) > in computer operating systems. This existence does seriously confuse > people who imagine these numbers might be about showing images, but > these numbers never affect any image in any way. These numbers are > only used to compute Text Size on the screen. The reason is because > text font size in Points is dimensioned in inches (designed for paper), > but screens are only dimensioned in pixels. The definition of a Point is > 1/72 inch - there are 72 points per real inch on paper. A 12 Point font > is 12/72 inch height printed on paper (inches exist on paper, and paper > is dimensioned in inches, and fonts are dimensioned in inches). ... > But not to worry, the operating system simply dreams up and uses some > fake 72 and 96 dpi numbers to compute text size on the screen.
