Can people please try and report the results? On a display that is 304 mm wide, (display-mm-width) --> 542 However, my resolution is ~135 dots/in or ~5.3 dots/mm. (My display is 1600 dots wide.) Were I to have a resolution of 75 dots/in or ~2.95 dots/mm then a display width of 542 would give me very nearly 1600 dots, which is how many on my display. -- Robert J.
