Is there a way to digitally discover the true height and width of your
screen in mm?

If you know the shadow mask/dot pitch [1] or the real pixel per inch of your screen, then calculate it. This way you see if software reports wrong values.

BTW: X supports -dpi parameter/option. I use it in my xserverrc (xinit server script) configuration and the Xorg.0.log reports the correct and
prior calculated values.
