No, this is something different. I don't want to set up a separate 
css for each media and resolution  to use. This mediarequest approach needs heavy resources on the designer side, and will not give the ability to make the look of all possible or impossible screen resolutions display the same "image".

Screen (media) width in pixels is the basis for all visual information display.
Why not let the content be able to rescale automatically according to that?
Why make things more complicated than necessary?
