In theory, the DPI property provided by the display should allow applications to be scaled to be usable on all kinds of display. But in practice, not many applications are doing this scaling and even more worse, some desktop environments (at least gnome) overwrite the DPI value arbitrarily, breaking those scaling mechanisms. Additionally, LibreOffice and PDF viewers show wrong document sizes because of this.
