How the conversion works
Inches are found by dividing the pixel count by the pixel density: inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For 1,024 × 768 pixels at 96 PPI that is 1,024 ÷ 96 = 10.667 and 768 ÷ 96 = 8.
1,024 × 768 is XGA.
Printed at 300 DPI it covers 3.4133 × 2.56 inches; on a 96 PPI screen the same pixels span 10.667 × 8 inches.
That is 0.79 megapixels in total, in 4:3 proportion. In metric the 300 DPI print measures 8.6699 × 6.5024 cm.
