If you *have* to have the physical dimensions, remember that some of
the odder screen resolution settings don't have the same vertical and
horizontal pixels per inch, so the user will need to measure in both
directions.
Rather than asking the user to measure an object (and enter the
measurement) it might be easier to vary the size of the object to
match a ruler, i.e. "please line the ruler up with the left end of
the bar, and drag the right end of the bar until it reaches the 10cm
mark on the ruler".
I don't know of ANY other way to find out the physical dimensions,
even Apple don't manage it on their own hardware.

Hello!
I'm working on a project and I would like to get the "physical"
screen size of the system. Is there a way to do this? I see how
to get many of the screen attributes...but as to physical
siza...nadda.
A cheesy way to do this, I suppose, would be to display an object
when the app is started up and ask the user to measure it and enter
the measurement. Based on that I could calculate the size of the
screen.
Has anyone discovered how to do this?
