Screen DPI

[simplsol at aol.com]

Peter,
Long ago all Macs used 72 DPI for screen resolution. Today it is more 
like 90 DPI but can be more or less. Flat panels may be over 120 DPI. 
And resolutions are bound to go higher as everyone tries to accommodate 
pictures and movies.
More madness: most 17" screens and most 19" screens have the same 
resolution - so the DPI varies significantly depending on the screen 
where it is viewed.
I would just design the at print resolution, 72 DPI (3" x 5" = 216 x 
360).

Subject: Screen DPI

    What is the screen DPI. I know on Mac, it is usually 72. I'm wanting 
to create a pseudo-WYSIWYG card editor that lets you specify a size, 
like 3 x 5, and it displays an appropriately sized card for one to 
place text on. 72 on Windows seems a bit small. I was just wondering if 
anyone had a rule of thumb they used. 
 
 Thanks!
