If the logic is simply to scale a factor 2 if DPI exceeds a certain fixed threshold, it may happen that this threshold is exceeded on the 14" screen and not on the 15" and icons, controls, text etc.will be printed to the screen almost twice as big on the 14" screen as compared to the 15". This makes little sense to me. The small one may have a better quality monitor and could in some cases actually better be able to cope with unscaled display than the bigger one.

The web has a concept of device pixels vs css pixels as well. It allows for websites to look nice by default on hidpi screens.<br>

Zooming of websites is a nice bonus to have, but doesn't solve the same problem.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
