Dots Per Inch
- Horizontal and Vertical DPI isn't the same
- DPI requires knowing the screen size and the resolution
-
But one can scale around by adjusting DPI without knowing what the natural DPI is
-
Screen DPI is different from the System DPI, which is what we are usually interested in
-
Even if EDID (see Adjusting Monitor Brightness in Linux) helps in knowing the physical dimensions, this does not work for a projector (see Colour Systems).
