How to read this

  • Pixel density (ppi) is how many pixels fit in one inch. Resolution alone cannot tell you — you have to divide by the diagonal.
  • The same 4K is 163 ppi on a 27" monitor and 68 ppi on a 65" TV. That is more than double, but a TV is watched from far away, so it does not matter.
  • The distance at which pixels vanish comes from one arcminute, the limit of human sight. Once a pixel looks smaller than that, no eye can find the grid.
  • Aspect ratio is width and height reduced to the simplest whole numbers. Modern phones are 19.5:9 or 20:9, so 16:9 video leaves black bars on the sides.

Frequently asked questions

Q. What is the Framework Laptop 13 screen resolution?

2256×1504 pixels — 3,393,024 in total, about 3.4 megapixels, which puts it in the 2.2K class.

Q. What is the pixel density of the Framework Laptop 13?

201 ppi. That is the diagonal in pixels of a 2256×1504 grid divided by the 13.5" diagonal of the panel, and it makes each pixel about 126.5 micrometres across.

Q. How big is the Framework Laptop 13 screen in millimetres?

285.3 mm wide and 190.2 mm tall, worked out from the 13.5" diagonal and the 3:2 aspect ratio. The visible area is roughly 84.1 square inches.

Q. How far away do pixels stop being visible on the Framework Laptop 13?

About 43.5 cm. That is where a pixel subtends less than one arcminute, the limit of human sight — closer than that and the grid starts to show.

Q. What aspect ratio does the Framework Laptop 13 use?

3:2, with the long edge 1.5× the short one. It is wider than it is tall, which suits video and side-by-side documents.
