I'd say there's no 100% reliable cross-platform solution and Qt can't do anything about it — the screen itself may return incorrect information about its physical size, OS may somehow misinterpret that information or simply fake it by reversing the calculations (i.e. calculate physical size by multiplying resolution and some predefined DPI value), etc..
