screen res
(pronounced: screen-rez)
Refers to an image built to 72 pixels/inch. As a general rule images created for on-screen presentation, such as the Web, video, and interactive multimedia, need only be built to the resolution of a computer monitor. Although there are computer monitors built with very high screen resolutions (up to 150 pixels/inch), 72ppi has become the de facto standard.
