I myself have a 120dpi setting and I have noticed big differences in how certain websites and browsers behave compared to other monitors/computers. For example, I found that sites look "normal" when I set the font size one size smaller in IE6/PC. > If you try to mix em and px sizes, roundoff error is the least of your > worries! :-) Hehe, yep...
