The problem with measuring off the monitor is the PPI. If your picture is 300 PPI and your monitor doesn't display 300 PPI then obviously it won't measure correctly.

If you want to check your screen resolution measure across the top, then divide the pixel dimension by that number. Let's say your monitor is 1024 and measures 12inches, 1024/12=85.33 PPI

How much to sharpen an image for printing, for instance, should be based on the screen resolution.
