Thanks,
If you indulge me a little bit further.
It does not make sense to me to have only A DPI.
That doesn't make sense in a first place.
You have a width and a height. Not all screen have the same shape and proportions.
So, you should have a X DPI and a Y DPI.
One monitor I have is 1280x1024 on a 13x11in. Everything look weird on that monitor.
i.e. Movie/Video especially.

Strange that on printers and scanners (the good one) have all that info.
I should know. I made some of those.
As for 3D printers you also need a Z DPI.
Otherwise, you cannot phantom to produce anything worthy of the real world.

I think, I have just give my whole input on this now.
Let me know if I missed anything.
