If I have two monitors with two resolutions and I put the two screens together the text is a different size. When I'm reading the text I want it to be consisten

  > The main issue I have as I get older is that as the resolution increases the text size seems to get smaller Most operating systems provide options for you to address that, by adjusting a scaling factor used by the display system.

  This is exactly the problem that I'm getting at. The reason your font is getting smaller with higher pixel densities is because the font size is being tied to the pixel density. In a better native world, your font size would be completely unrelated from the monitor(s) you're using. It is the attempt to tie font sizes to physical attributes of your monitors like their resolution that is giving you this problem. And it is the need for scaling to be based on resolution that makes multi-resolution monitor setups break. There's no reason why your OS couldn't size text differently on each monitor based on monitor-specific settings that you control, and there's no reason why the applications you're using couldn't implement responsive design and accommodate that setup. As designers we would just need to embrace responsive design and stop trying to control everything.

  If you have the PPI set per display correctly, it should be roughly the same for px/pt measurements.
