LCD resolution question

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.video (More info?)

Two LCD monitors, one a 15-inch using its native 1024x768 resolution, and
the other a 17-inch using its native 1280x1024 resolution. Which one would
have the bigger icons, text, and images? If I were to take a ruler and
measure the same desktop icons or webpage images on the two different
monitors, which would have the larger stuff (in other words, easier on my
aging eyes). Thank you all.

Take the total surface (display) area of the 15", and divide it by the
# of pixels i.e. 1024x768, then do the same with the 17" with
1280x1024. The 15" should work out to have a larger pixel size than
the 17"
