I know, I know! I've had this discussion with a number of monitor designers
over the years...and it drives them nuts that people call it 'resolution'.
I don't remember what they did call it though...I'll go look it up if I
still have the thread saved.
Point is, it isn't technically resolution, as resolution is per unit per
(typically linear) dimension (and, one monitor's width isn't a measurement
dimension ;-).
