Empirically, I do not think that using the number suggested by Jean- Marc is relevant for two reasons: 1) My screen (powerbook G4, 15 inches) has 1440 pixels for 12.6 inches, which gives a DPI of ~ 114, whereas the value which gives correct results is 80. 2) Changing the DPI value in Lyx preferences changes the relative size of math previews to text, whereas changing the resolution of my screen changes the DPI as calculated by Jean-Marc but (luckily) does not change the relative size of math previews to text.

I mean the right one in terms of your screen size and resolution. It
seems to me that the most common DPI (screen width in pixel divided by
screen width in inches) value is 100. 80 is a bit low on modern
computers.
