You are correct. Last night I remembered when I first set up my dual monitor system the Photoshop pallets were smaller on my main screen (HD) and got larger when I moved them to my older monitor that has less resolution.
That is why I noticed the size on these smaller resolution monitor here in VA

Must admit that the fine points of size elude me but I think that monitor “resolution" is definitely a factor. If the monitor is 72 ppi then the 1000 pixel size image will appear to be about 14 inches on the screen … if the monitor is 100 ppi then the same image will only be 10 inches on the screen. The higher the resolution of the monitor the smaller any given image will appear. Is this thinking about right or are there other factors involved?

I'm on a computer in a library in VA and a few of my images have run off the 18" monitors here. I have put 36 images on a flash stick that I made from 4 x 6" proofing files. I left the ppi of the images at 300. When I get back to NC in a few weeks I will change them down to 150 or 100 ppi and see what happens to the size on the screen. The resolution on most monitors is around 100 ppi so this seems like a reasonable explanation.
