Read the comments - you can almost smell the geek coming out of it.

"It's true the term "resolution" is thrown around carelessly, but for the most part displays refer to linear resolution. Probably because most consumers can more easily visualize the difference between a 20in and 24in display instead of between a 180in? (20in) and 260in? (24in) display. Areal resolution is more used with sensors (eg: cameras) where many consumers don't care about the sensor size (even though camera afficianados do, and rightfully so)."

I wonder what selwyn's answer to THAT would be?
