Zoom Sheet Size not calibrated

Hello!! Whenever i try to use the Zoom Sheet Size it seems to not be at the real size. I tried measuring it from the screen and it show the element smaller than it should be if printed. This happens in RVT 19 and 21 and my monitor has a 2560x1080 resolution. I don't know if i'm crazy but, i'm pretty sure that this worked properly on my old computer (with a 1920x1080 resolution). Is there a way to calibrate this?

So you are literally measuring the display on your monitor and comparing it to your printed hardcopy?  

 

Are you using a tape measure or a wooden ruler?

Yes and no...

I use the Zoom Sheet Size to check if something will be too big or too small on the sheet before printing, but i do this just visually because a long time ago i cheked to see if it was at the right size, thus not requiring to measure every time.

On my old pc, as i said, this worked as intended. Whatever i've drawn had matched the exact size as if being printed.

 

Now, om my new monitor (that has a bigger resolution) this is a bit off. Let's say that i drawn a 1cm line. If i set the view to 1:1 and use the Zoom Sheet Size, this line should be the exact 1cm if i measure it with a ruler. However, the drawing seems to be a little smaller.

This doesn't have to do with the view scale, as i'm using a scale ruler (see below) and this happens in whatever scale that i use.

This is the ruler that i use. It  goes from 1:20 to 1:125. I don't know the name of it in englishThis is the ruler that i use. It goes from 1:20 to 1:125. I don't know the name of it in english

For some reason, if use the Zoom Sheet Size and then scroll just a little bit (just one step closer) it seems to be at the right size. 

 

This is not a major issue but is kinda depressing that it worked flawlessly before. I think that maybe this resolution is not supported yet for this command.
