what is a pixels measure

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.

I know, but it's still funny looking :)
