A quick look at the specs for ASIS M70V says that
the 17 inch display has a resolution of 1440x900
pixels. This makes sense for a nice 17 inch 100
pixel/inch display:
17 %~ | 1440j900
99.8892
Of course, you may have a different resolution
set - 1280 x 720 would introduce a distortion (on
a Mac such settings are said to be stretched) if
they are distorted to fill the entire screen -
maybe that is the case in Windows too, I don't
know. In that case, for your screen, your chosen
ratio makes sense -
%/ 1440 900 % 1280 720
0.9
My own preference is not to have such a
distortion and also to use the full resolution of
a screen (the 100 pixel/inch screens are very
nice - only outdone by things like the 160
pixel/inch on iPods/iPhones.
