The most common monitor display used has a 1024 X 768 pixel density. That is how I am set up on my own computer. Here are a couple thoughts regarding image processing on higher pixel density screens.
I quickly processed some pictures on my son's computer a couple days ago. His 19 inch monitor is set up for 1280 X 1024 pixel density. The problem with that is that it tends to make you think the image quality is better than it really is. That is true not just for viewing on other monitors, but for printing as well.
Here are the images I processed:

OK, as amazing as it might seem, given how viral and youthful I am, they are pictures from the birth of my son Orion's firstborn. :) And, of course, I am more than happy to share such images with everyone. But the important point is that they are not all that good technically.
They looked very, very good on his machine at 1280 X 1024 pixel resolution on a 19 inch screen. They are not as good at 1024 X 768 resolution on a similar screen and look even worse on lower screen densities. Part of the reason for that is that I did not perform noise reduction on most of the images.
My point is this... If you process images at higher than 'normal' (1024 X 768) screen resolution and they do not do as well on DPC as you might like then the higher screen resolution is a possible reason. You should review your submissions at the screen resolution that most viewers will review it at if you want it to get a high score and then make adjustment's accordingly if needed.

i am going to have to dissagree
i regularly edit my pics on 1600x1200
but view my pics work 1024x768 1280x1024 and this mini 1024x600
all with the same ~dot size (.26) and calibrated
i do not see variation in quality
BUT you will notice that off multiples will change your view in PS
don't use 66.6% 33.3% 16.6% sizes for editing as the interpolation messes up use only powers of 2 4 8 (50% 25% 12.5%)
if you edit at the off values YMMV |
