But most manufacturers sell you a slightly smaller display (23.6'' or 31.5'') to max their profits and these have both ~93 PPI. So most 24''-models have the same density as your 32'' model, not less.

You are right, I was slightly inaccurate with my first claim. I am only human, we all make mistakes. :P

But still. My panel which is 31.5" + 1440P and does have superior PPI to that of a 24" 1080P panel. - And it was advertised as 32" with 31.5" viewable area.

As for manufacturer claims. Some brands are more guilty than others, manufacturers with better reputations such as Asus seem to be pretty accurate with their claims as 23.6" panels are often advertised as 23.6" here.
I have seen 24" advertised panels actually have 24.5" viewable areas such as the Asus ROG Swift PG258Q.

ASUS puts a "25" in the model-name and describes it as 25''-monitor:

TV- and monitor-manufacturers always try to let the displays seem bigger than they are. They also love the widescreen and ultrawidescreen trend, where they can advertise with high diagonal numbers. The two-dimensional size of the display area would be much more earnest.

Same number, much less material: http://www.displaywars.com/27-inch-4x3-vs-27-inch-21x9
