Ideally, you want the dpi set to the dpi of your screen (whatever your screen resolution is, divided by #inches of your screen) for displaying things on your screen -- but printers usually use alot higher (like 300 dpi is common) resolution for printing.

As just a minor FYI here, I did a follow up on Inkscape's hardcoded DPI.

SVG 1.1 is based on CSS2, not CSS3, and it mentions a 90 DPI reference pixel.

Of course, Inkscape needs to have all the hardcoding removed, and to query the running *monitors* (note the plural) for their physical size.
