Comment on In CSS, “px” is not an angular measurement and it is not non-linearparent

This assumes that you get to choose the resolution of the screen, which is a luxury web designers don't generally have!

Well there's not really any other way to ensure crisp rendering. A user with a low resolution screen, even if 1px equates to an actual pixel on their device, might have web pages zoomed in by 15% or out by 10%, breaking all attempts to avoid antialiasing.

This happens when a developer and designer start talking about pixel sizes... ;)

I'm a developer, so: yes, zoom will break things. but the users (usually) notice this and (sometimes) know how to correct it.
