For the 4D series on a 19" monitor the resolution is just a hair under 96 dpi.
With a 14" monitor on a PI the resolution is about 108 dpi.

When in doubt get out a tape measure, measure the scanned area of the monitor
and divide by the number of pixels.  Our monitors are adjusted so they have
the same scanned area.
