Quote:One area of Web design that is going to become more important in the coming years is high DPI...
Quote:On a screen with 1920×1200 resolution the Web site is going to be tiny, taking up < 50% of the screen's width and half the screen's height. In terms of absolute size, the text will be much smaller and harder to read.
Now this may not be a huge problem yet, but as displays cram more and more pixels into the same amount of space, if a Web browser (or any other application for that matter) naively continues to say that one pixel according to the apps concept of pixels is the same as one pixel on the screen, then eventually you have text and images so small that theyre impossible to view easily.
How do you solve this problem?
