Relatedly, it's really lame that many apps have an "Actual Size" zoom option (that's ⌘0 to you Mac Safari users) that doesn't mean anything. If I create a word processor document with a 11" tall page size and zoom it to "Actual Size," I should be able to hold a sheet of US Letter up to the screen and have it match perfectly, but it is much too small. Displays (except projectors) provide physical dimensions via EDID metadata, which can be used to compute the correct scaling factor.

- account42 6y agoPhysical size might be sufficient if you are holding a paper up to the monitor but for most uses what matters is the apparent size to the user, which would also need to take the viewing distance into account.
- Doxin 6y agoSurely the size of a piece of paper at the same distance as the viewing distance from the monitor would end up having the same dimensions as the paper on the monitor?
