The problem with this approach is that not all 1920x1080 (insert whatever resolution) displays are the same size and thus it'll just move the advantage/disadvantage to another group of users.
If a system can be interrogated to ascertain the physical dimensions of the display along with the resolution or just the dot-pitch then a universal transparency/size could possibly be implemented, this would however be almost impossible for any users with projection displays as there is no way that I am aware of for the computer to know exactly how big the projection ends up.
