Xactly.
My laptop is 1920x1280 with 15.4 inch diagonal. resulting in about 150 PPI.
My desktop is 1920x1280 with 26 inch diagonal, resulting in 89 PPI.
To just say that screen PPI is "some fixed number" is like saying a piece of string is 3 inches long. In other words, some are, some aren't. (Hi Noel - how long is your string? LOL)
Pixels per inch is a ratio where you divide the pixels by the inches. Since both can vary, it is meaningless to suggest that all screens have the same PPI, even for laptops.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
