In other words, how sharp / big the monitor seems to be set.
Most of us run on default 100% DPI but in some cases, usually big resolutions above 1080p, 4K, Mac Retina, Surface 4, high-end monitors, can use a higher DPI value, otherwise we end up with difficult to read tiny text and icons.Note
DPI settings can be found here:
DPI Scaling Level for Displays - Change in Windows 10 - Windows 10 blog
We don't need to change anything, just take a look.
Getting to the options via Settings:
100% is perfect for my 32" HDTV/Monitor
100% for me ;-)
108% is perfect for my 24" 1920x1200 display.
I go 110%, default text sizes but bold; perfect on 27" 1920x1080.
Interesting.

A little off topic but interesting:
At a very high dpi, the clock/calendar becomes dynamic, (scroll bar and all), while the Start Menu becomes squat and useless:
