By default, Gimp uses "dot-for-dot" displays (one pixels of image on one
pixel of screen). So the image is displayed with the screen resolution.
You can toggle this ("View>Dot for dot"), in which case Gimp will
display the image as indicated by the image's print resolution (see
"Image>Print size"). This assume that the screen resolution is set
correctly (see "Edit>Preferences>Interface>Display>Monitor resolution").

Hi, since a short time I have a 27inch 4K Monitor which results in

But when Gimp displays something, e.g. a rectangle, reading the
(displayed) rulers one can read the height and width of the rectangle,
but using an (external) ruler the displayed image (at 100%) is much
larger, probably scaled by 162/96.
Thus, it looks like Gimp still uses 96DPI for displaying something.
How can I fix this?
Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
