I should have quoted "rotate one pixel". Of course you can't rotate one 
pixel. What I am describing is that if you click on the 360 video and 
move that mouse by one pixel, the video should rotate so that the pixel 
under the mouse is still the same.

And so that means the DPI of your screen doesn't matter.

The magnification neither because the "rotation" is done in the display 
module. It would be different if the rotation was done at the source 
level or via a filter done before the magnification.
