dpi isn't the right metric. you don't keep a phone the same distance as a 49" monitor.



DPI is absolutely the right metric, the target goal just depends on the usage.

A hidpi computer display is north of 200 (iMacs are a bit below 220, MacBooks a bit above).

A phone is north of 300 (iPhones have ranged from 324 to 476).


DPI works fine as long as the type of device is in the context. The context here is desktop/laptop.
