Yarone, the number of pixels on a screen dictates how much information can be displayed at a given time, while the screen resolution, such as "pixels per inch" determines the sharpness of the images. These two parameters are linked by the actual screen dimensions. A 1400 x 1050 screen will display the same amount of information whether it's a 12.1 inch or 17 inch screen but the images will look smaller on 12.1 inch screen. However, the 12-1 inch screen has a higher resolution (pixels per inch) than the 17 inch screen, and the pictures and fonts will appear sharper. If yon want the same sharpness on a 17 inch screen, we'll need a lot more pixels. The higher resolution displays are now approaching image resolutions of print media. A consumer magazine photo is typically printed at 125 lines per inch, while a 600 dpi colour printer will print at 150 lines per inch (CMYK). The 5 inch screen of Samsung Nexio is 190 Pixels per inch. The difference with prints is that black texts are printed at much higher resolution. A 600 dpi printer will commit all of its dots to black, making the effective text resolution to be full 600 lines per inch. Clear type tries to do a similar thing to the screen texts by manipulating the RGB luminance in each pixels. The icons and texts will be smaller on a higher resolution screen, but devices like the tablet PC are usually held closer to the eye. Otherwise, their sizes can be increased for greater working distances. You are perfectly correct that, regardless of the screen resolution, the physical writing space on a tablet PC is dictated by its screen dimension. This is analogous to having a lecture handout printed in different resolutions. Regardless of the quality and sharpness of the print, your memo area remains the same, although l would prefer to have sharper photos and clearer texts. Kwon.
