If I run Calibre on the 24" Samsung at 1920x1200 then I'd probably want to see about the same as I would on the Dell - the Samsung normally being a lot closer than is the Dell.
Viewing comfort is at least as much a function of pixel density, the dot pitch and the distance between the eye and screen, as it is on screen size - I would argue more so.
I used an image editor to work it out, easier than doing the sums in my head - now I have a 12x5 grid on the 24" 1920x1200 Samsung. Next time I run Calibre on the other monitors I'll work out a good size for them and write it down - somewhere 
I worked on hi-end imaging system for a decade or so, back then we only thought in units of length when we printed images for situation room briefings. AFAIK camera's and scanners still work in pixels - even the ones on fiddle fones - never mind.

I am using a cheap 24" HDTV at 1368x758. Have found a size of 2.5 cm x 3 cm is good.
Gives me a 3x10 grid (3 up and 10 across).
