[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ xdpyinfo | grep "screen" -A2 # HDMI LCD on
and VGA CRT off default screen number:    0
number of screens:    1

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1920x1080 pixels (502x282 millimeters)
  resolution:    97x97 dots per inch
                 ^^^^^
Seemingly xdpyinfo is buggy, not only the millimeters are wrong, also
the dpi value isn't always the same.
