RE: filmscanners: dither vs haltoning nitpicking
Perhaps you will think I'm biased, based on my email address, but I think
"screen area" describes it quite well.
Digital images are measured in pixels and the "screen area" setting tells
the user how many pixels the area of the screen will display. What is wrong
with that?
When you change the "screen area" you are also changing the resolution in
terms of pixels per inch of your screen.
The only (slightly) confusing thing about it is that people usually use the
term "resolution" along with expression (640x480, 800x600, etc) that are
measures of screen area, rather than "resolutions" in the strict sense of
the word (a number of pixels per linear dimension unit).

Well, it's better than what Microsoft calls it, isn't it? Screen area? How
the heck does that relate to anything?
