Actual resolution is whatever it happens to be, a function of the display's size and the advertised resolution. You can multiply them to find what it is, or look it up in a chart like this one: http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/displays.xhtml Common ones recently and currently found on store shelves: 4:3: 15" (1024x768) = 85.3 DPI 16" (1400x1050 laptop) = 109.4 DPI 17" (1280x1024) = 96.4 DPI 19" (1280x1024) = 86.3 DPI 20" (1600x1200) = 100.0 DPI widescreen: 13.3" (1280x800 laptop) = 113.5 DPI 15.4" (1280x800 laptop) = 98.0 DPI 16" (1680x1050 laptop) = 123.8 DPI 17" (1920x1200 laptop) = 133.2 DPI 19" (1440x900) = 89.4 DPI 20" (1920x1080 TV) = 110.2 DPI 21" (1680x1050) = 94.3 DPI 23" (1920x1200) = 98.4 DPI 24" (1920x1080 TV) = 91.8 DPI -- How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver.
