Aren’t we counting angels on pins? We seem to be blissfully assuming that we all know what “Actual Size” or “100% zoom” means. The scale factor of so-called “actual size” to “real distance measured off the screen with a ruler” **varies tremendously and is barely documented**. Where can I find a table which states this scale for all iOS devices, or all Macs, or all Samsung phones, or all Surfaces? Why isn’t data so fundamental included in widely published “tech specs”? A personal vent: On the built in screen of my MacBook Pro, “Actual Size” increases significantly when I attach an external display, unmirrored. Possibly this new scale depends on the resolution of that display, possibly it always does that with external displays. I have no idea how to keep it at its native “Actual size”. How opsz is supposed to cope with this, I have no idea :-( -- GitHub Notification of comment by Lorp Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4430#issuecomment-632277982 using your GitHub account
