I'm dying to know: what's wrong with inches in CSS?

• looeee 7y ago
  I'm gonna guess that they have very little to do with inches in the real world, and will in fact display at different lengths on different screens.

    That's true, but that issue isn't specific to CSS inches. Pixels aren't pixels, points aren't points, etc. It's not even an HTML/browser issue. There's a general problem with knowing in software the real-life physical size or length of something displayed on screen. The calibration information available isn't generally reliable, though I think people are paying more attention these days with the growing interest in AR.
