Peter,
Long ago all Macs used 72 DPI for screen resolution. Today it is more like 90 DPI but can be more or less. Flat panels may be over 120 DPI. And resolutions are bound to go higher as everyone tries to accommodate pictures and movies. More madness: most 17" screens and most 19" screens have the same resolution - so the DPI varies significantly depending on the screen where it is viewed. I would just design the at print resolution, 72 DPI (3" x 5" = 216 x 360).

Subject: Screen DPI

What is the screen DPI. I know on Mac, it is usually 72. I'm wanting to create a pseudo-WYSIWYG card editor that lets you specify a size, like 3 x 5, and it displays an appropriately sized card for one to place text on. 72 on Windows seems a bit small. I was just wondering if anyone had a rule of thumb they used. 
 
Thanks!
