480 was completely unusable; average Joes were setting it
at random and were unable to use winecfg to reset it to
something sane.

I found a few monitors out there at 200 dpi, so perhaps that would
be a reasonable upper limit, but we'd have to check to make sure that
the average person with a crap monitor could set that to 200dpi,
realize it was wrong, and set it back without having to edit
the registry by hand.
