I believe the Capabilities.screenDPI doesn't query the OS for all that the os knows. On the desktop the Capabilities.screenDPI property will always return the abstract ppi, not the actual ppis of the displays connected to the pc. On mac you will always get the return value 72. On windows – I'm not sure – but I would imagine it returns 96 (or the custom dpi set by the user in the control-panel). Or maybe the player will return 72 on windows as well. The point is. You won't get the value you are looking for. There seems to be multiple issues with mobile devices returning the the wrong screen values. Maybe this can't be queried correctly by native code either, but maybe it can. There is no reliable way of getting this information in Flex at the present. There is no reliable way to draw real world measured elements in flex. Yours /Erik
