Mark,

The "dpi" of this screen resolution is dependant on the size of the 
monitor. Remember, dpi means Dots Per Inch, so if you have a monitor 
that is 12 inches across (like my IMB Thinkpad), and the screen 
resolution is 1600 x 1200 pixels, the dpi resolution will be 1600 
divided by 12, which is about 133 dpi.
