width, height - screen size in pixels

Thanks very much. But, as you certainly know, the size of a pixel is computed as
screen width in mm / screen width in pixels and screen height in mm / screen height in pixels.

So the next question: How do I get the screen dimensions in mm (or any other length unit) ?

Or, if this is not possible: How can I get at least some unique identifier for an NSScreen (like "display of 12 inch G4 iBook" or: "Apple Studio Display Model xxx") ?

In Google... "screen dpi site:developer.apple.com"

First hit: <http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1217.html>
