Sorry, we should have noticed this earlier...
It appears you have a buggy monitor which reports itself as 16x9cm in
size when plugged in to HDMI. So that's why Unity8 thinks it's a tablet.
Although you also mention in comment #5 that if you connect using DVI
then the dimensions are reported correctly. So you should use DVI as a
workaround if you can.
So we have a hardware bug in the physical monitor, and a software bug in
Unity8. Unity8 is incorrectly assuming that a 16x9cm display must be a
tablet. Actually we can correct this assumption by noticing it's
connected by HDMI and therefore is not a tablet display.

Bug description:
So, when I log into the Unity Mir it seems that Mir detects my
hardware as "phablet" . I have some weird issues in the system
settings too.
Weird stuff that could be connected to the problem:
In system settings (on X server) it says that my 22 inch monitor is 7 inch
monitor.
I'm connecting my screen over the HDMI.
I have radeon 7770.
In ubuntu Gnome everything is scaled up.
