I was hoping for something more creative. Sometimes along the lines of sub-pixel interpolation to match the dot-pitch between the two monitors.
Sub-pixel interpolation would still be effectively scaling one of the monitor images to match the DPI of the other monitor. Either way, it's not going to look pretty on an LCD. Another way to do this, would be to vertically centre your smaller monitor against the larger monitor. That way, at the middle of the monitor it would be lined up perfectly. As you get further away from the middle it would skew more and more, but without any kind of scaling this is probably the best you can get.

SoftTh will do this for games and it can be done in Linux with xrandr. It frustrates me that it can't be done in Windows.
There are plenty of threads in this forum about this topic and I'm surprised that DusplayFusion can't do DPI correction or bezel removal.

Trying to align windows across monitors with different dot pitch is futile for the reasons you stated, but are are improvements that could be made with awareness of dot pitch. Now, when moving the mouse between monitors of different dot pitch, it doesn't show up at the adjacent spot on the other monitor, because you can only line up the two monitors properly at a single point. That would be fixable if you could configure the relative sizes of the displays.
You could also do scaling of background images to make them line up, which would look fine if the source had a high resolution.

Yep! You can actually already scale the wallpaper on each monitor using the settings in the Adjustments tab.
Regarding the mouse, how are you envisioning that would work? Would DisplayFusion do a calculation to determine the DPI based on the physical size and resolution of the monitors, and then force the mouse to jump to the "correct" position when it crosses to the next monitor?

I know it's a bit late, but I did a small application to deal with that. It's still beta but work quite good.
It's opensource : LittleBigMouse at github : https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse/releases
I also need people to beta test it.
thank you all,
