Noticing a related difference in Windows 10 with a 1920x1080 screen and 125% scaling. When querying get(0,"ScreenSize"), Matlab R2018b returns [1 1 1536 864] while Octave 5.0 returns [1 1 1920 1080].
The "screenpixelsperinch" property is 96 with Matlab and 166.07 with Octave.

This might be connected to bug #49627.

get(0,'screensize') in Windows 8 returns scaled screensize (Matlab will return the real resolution of the screen). Windows 8 can set scaling factors for the screen resolution and Octave returns the scaled or effective resolution. This can be somewhat troublesome when one wants to create a large figure relative to the actual screensize. At least some workaround could be offered to return the actual screensize on Windows 8.
