The general opinion is that the very best monitors nowadays can display up to 90ppi - but you are talking about top quality monitors, the average will still only display around 72 ppi. If you wanting to be ultra safe you could save at 96 ppi but you would be hard pushed to see any difference.
This is why I was totally confused by Don's posting about 200 and 300 ppi.
