Notice DPI change. Notice Pixels are the same. Only Inches info changed.
Hmmm, interesting thing...there's degradation in the first image compared to the second one.

I'm running with Explorer 7 and in the lower right corner of the window you should see a magnifying glass probably showing '100%'. If you click on the small black triangle to the right of the percentage you should get a pull down screen with various percentages. Change it to 400% and everything on your screen with increase in size. With the screen now set to 400% scroll up to your 2 images and do a scrolling back and forth between the 2. Although the 2 images may have the same pixel dimensions you will note that the 72dpi image is smoother than the one set at 300dpi. I can only take that to mean that there is a loss in quality. So there is some relevance to sizing your image to 72dpi when presenting on the monitor.
