You DID read that, but not the way you're saying it. Capacitive screens are accurate and sensitive for detecting touch, but the touches aren't high resolution. For instance, the resistive screen can detect the differences in pixels selected much better. Capacitive screens MUST have larger elements, since it can only detect touches of a particular size. Don't forget, capacitive detects the PAD of a finger. Now that's a pretty large pointer. Resistive can detect a pinpoint touch, and elements can be much smaller. So the resolution applies to the touch detection, not the pixel density.
