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 16" Portable 2K screen resolution?

2560×1600 pixels — 4,096,000 in total, about 4.1 megapixels, which puts it in the QHD class.

Q. What is the pixel density of the 16" Portable 2K?

189 ppi. That is the diagonal in pixels of a 2560×1600 grid divided by the 16" diagonal of the panel, and it makes each pixel about 134.6 micrometres across.

Q. How big is the 16" Portable 2K screen in millimetres?

344.6 mm wide and 215.4 mm tall, worked out from the 16" diagonal and the 8:5 aspect ratio. The visible area is roughly 115.1 square inches.

Q. How far away do pixels stop being visible on the 16" Portable 2K?

About 46.3 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 16" Portable 2K use?

16:10 (exactly 8:5), with the long edge 1.6× the short one. It is wider than it is tall, which suits video and side-by-side documents.

Screens of a similar size

The same diagonal at a different resolution means a different density. 4K is 163 ppi on a 27" monitor and 68 ppi on a 65" TV.
