 Typical monitors display 96 pixels per inch



Actually, that turns out not to be the case. If you measure the width and height of your display and divide your screen resolution by those numbers, you're more likely to get a number between 108 and 130 ppi. (My laptop is around 112 and my desktop is around 123.)

The mythical 96 ppi figure originates in the font size setting used in early Microsoft OSs, but even that wasn't related directly to display size.
