At least with monitor sizes, you only need to have a monitor that is big
enough--if your monitor is bigger than the sender's, you'll be fine.
With resolution changes, however, it can actually be a detriment to run
your machine at a higher, uh, pitch--if you try to view something
created at a lower pitch, then everything will be small!
I imagine that, just as with paper, certain sizes will become common. I
also kinda expect that people won't frequently want to take over your
whole monitor. If someone sends me an interesting electronic book, why
can't I plop it on my desktop amidst all my other rubish if I so choose?
