I just wanted to start arguing that 100dpi matched the real
resolution usually better than 75dpi, but it is the other way round.
15''CRT (~14'' viewable) : 10.866''x8.15''
@800x600 73.6 dpi. Imho unusable 1024*786 94.2dpi.
19''CRT: viewable size 36.5cm*27.4cm=14.37''*10.787''
@1024*786 71.3 dpi, 1152*864 80.2 dpi, 1280*960 89 dpi,
1600*1200 111 dpi.
15''TFT: 12''*9''
1024*786 85.3 dpi
