You are right in saying that monitors usually resolve only 72 ppi, but what really matters is the size. For example, my monitor is 1024 pixels wide (and 768 pixels tall), so by sizing the image to 750 pixels wide I can fit it in comfortably. The only meaning of the 72 ppi resolution is that the image is 750/72=10.4 inches wide, but the key are the overall pixel dimensions.
