Screen Resolution Check
This high-precision diagnostic uses the browser's hardware-acceleration engine to identify the exact pixel count of your display. Whether you are using an Apple Retina display, a 4K gaming monitor, or a smartphone, we provide zero-software confirmation of your specs.
Physical vs. Viewport Resolution
Your **Physical Resolution** is the total number of pixels on the hardware (e.g., 3840x2160 for 4K). However, modern browsers use **Viewport Resolution** (scaling) to make text readable on high-DPI screens. Our tool identifies both to help you calibrate your design or gaming setup.
Understanding Device Pixel Ratio (DPR)
DPR represents how many physical pixels are used to render a single CSS pixel. An Apple MacBook typically has a DPR of 2.0, meaning it uses 4 physical pixels (2x2) for every 1 visual pixel, creating an ultra-sharp "Retina" look.
Common Aspect Ratios
- 16:9 (Widescreen): The standard for modern TVs and monitors.
- 4:3 (Traditional): Common for older CRT displays and iPads.
- 21:9 (Ultrawide): High-end cinematic and gaming monitors.
- 16:10: Popular on productivity-focused laptops like MacBooks.
