709 so what you're really asking is who cares when its currently just 100 ppi vs 150 ppi? If there WERE a resolution-independent OS right I still think people would care. Without having it be real, it's hard to say what the perceived advantage of an extra 50 ppi would be, but I bet you could notice it. Probably more than the perceived difference in clock speed between the current G5 offerings. When resolution-independent OS's hit, monitor PPI will become very important methinks. Perhaps even as important to consumers as CPU clock speed?

Not sure how you don't get why people would want this or why it wouldn't be advantageous in the world of resolution-independent GUIs. Perhaps you don't work with Photoshop images to have a frame of reference?

Shhhh, I can't see!
