Screen Resolutions and it's effect on Ads

One of the things that I feel is an issue with busting spam is the screen resolution of the monitors involved. For example, I have a widescreen monitor on both my laptop and on my desktop. The laptop is 1440x900 while the desktop is 1680x1050. As such, the same ad will appear to be longer on my laptop than it is on my desktop. This is further complicated by the fact that you've also got standard ratio monitors (4:3 as opposed to 16:10). This makes an ad seem even longer. Thus an ad on my desktop may be 10 lines exactly while on somebody else's computer it could be up to 16 lines long.

Thus I propose that we maybe set a standard resolution for the spam busters. Then we can compare an ad on different resolutions and know what is what. Then again, that may be too complicated. Either way, it's definitely something to think about.
 
Example:

Depending on your graphics card many may not have these resolutions. This may differ on a MAC. Will post those settings when I get on mine later.

But no changes so far.
