InDesign pixel dimensions do not relate to website sizes

I'd like to use InDesign to mockup the visual design of a website.

I've created a new a new 'web' document using pixel units. The document is 1920px wide. I'm viewing it at 100% scale and it isn't fitting into my 2560px monitor screen. Weird.

I've then added some 21px text and compared it to some 21px font-size text on my website. In InDesign it looks massively bigger. I have to reduce the zoom to about 65% before the text in InDesign looks about the same size as the text on a website.

Why isn't InDesign in a 'web' document, at 100% zoom, showing the correct scale? It is as if the pixels are massively bigger

Thank you. I'll look into that

Thank you ever so much, this is exactly what I was looking for. On first test it works brilliantly when using my large 72ppi monitor. Thanks again
