Image Size
When a graphic is displayed on a web page, the pixels in the image map one to one with the display resolution of the monitor. Monitors with a higher display resolution use smaller pixels. Therefore, a graphic that appears to be about one inch square on your 72 ppi monitor may actually appear to be quite a bit smaller on a monitor with a resolution closer to 100. See Figure 28-2.
