I is the size of one display unit. It has no physical size. On a 12"
with 400*800 display it will be one size and on a 21" display with the same
400*800 it will be larger. In both you will have 400 of them across and 800
down (or do I have that backwards?).

400 across and 800 down makes for a pretty funny looking desktop

The OP is trying to calculate pixels per inch. Since this is dependant on
the current screen size and resolution, the OP needs to use the
GetSystemMetrics API.

There were a number of monitors that are build to fit normal paper size,
e.g. letter / legal / A4 so they would have this sort of funny resolutions
like 400 across x 800 down.
