you always come to my rescureRich, He wants someone to calculate for him the size screen that he would need to have the icon appear to be the same size at the increased resolution. IE on a 17 inch monitor, at 1024x768 the icon is 1/2"x1/2".
How big would my monitor need to be for my icon to remain at 1/2"x1/2" if I increase the pixel resolution to 1920x1080.
He wants someone to calculate for him the measurements in pixel height and width of his current icons, then determine how large the new monitor must be for the same pixel map to be the same physical size, when displayed at a different resolution.
i understand what he is asking now.
but then, aren't all screens the same?
everything looks the same, it's just that bigger monitors get bigger screen area. am i correct?
i've had 15"CRT, 19" 1440x900 LCD and my 22" 1680x1050 screen, and everything is the same size.
it's just that, i can view 2 A4 windows on my 22" whereas my other 2 screens can't.
