A "high resolution" screen should be able to show video clips of any size. Monitors display whatever image they are given based on the dimensions of the file in pixels. If my screen has three times as many pixels per inch, then what I display will be one inch wide compared to three inches wide on another monitor. The lower density of pixels spreads the image out more but makes it grainier. I have my browser set to ignore the font size specified by the sites I visit. If I didn't, the fonts would be too small to read. This particular browser feature is one of the accessibility options for those with limited vision, not those with high density monitors, but, hey, it works. Problem is that some sites don't have scalable fonts so the lines of text overlap when I make the font larger and I can't read them. I'm sure you are just fascinated by the details of my problem. <g> The moral of this story is that, in surfing the net, it's best to not get too far out in front of the technology. Most sites are still optimized for 800x600 resolution.
