It's one of the variables involved in picture quality, and it's one I have some control over. I don't always have control over the more important factors but when these all come together I don't want to be let down by weak color, muddy shadows, weak detail, chromatic abberation, or flare. Several of my prints are bigger than the computer monitor, sometimes with cropping, and the image quality standard for a monitor is nowhere near the standard for a print - and several people have commented on the difference in quality just from web-sized jpg files when comparing photos I've made with Leica APO lenses and photos I've made with other-brand lenses.
