It is unrealistic to make any such assumptions.  My monitor can be 
set to resolutions in the range 800x600 to 1920x1440.  Which one you 
choose is down to personal taste, viewing distance, and how good your 
eyesight is.  The ppi resolution value embedded in the image is 
usually ignored by the browser.  All that needs to be understood is 
that pixels in the image are displayed in individual pixels on the 
screen.  So if the screen resolution is 800 pixels wide, an image 
that is 400 pixels wide will fill half the width of the screen.  It's 
that simple.
