Macintosh: Displays Greater Than 72 dpi Not Yet Available



I want to implement scanned documents in conjunction with electronic mail. The
scanned documents look good when printed but not as nice when viewed on the
screen at 72 dpi. I need video cards and monitors that work at 100 or 150 dpi,
but I cannot find anything other than 72 or 75 dpi. I don't want to change
scale, just resolution.

Can you help?

As of February, 1990, we don't know of any display system for the Macintosh
that provides a resolution higher than 72 dpi without decreasing the size of
the displayed image in direct proportion to the increase in resolution. In
other words, the higher the screen resolution, the smaller the displayed image.
