Then, why not let the user choose a proper device?
Anyway, the resulting bitmap is copied from the screen device, that 
means the size is also copied.
That means if you have some 1600x1200 screen and your windows device is 
resized to fullscreen, than you will almost get 1600x1200 pixels in your 
bitmap...
