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 Pixel 5 screen resolution?
1080×2340 pixels — 2,527,200 in total, about 2.5 megapixels, which puts it in the FHD+ class.
Q. What is the pixel density of the Pixel 5?
430 ppi. That is the diagonal in pixels of a 1080×2340 grid divided by the 6" diagonal of the panel, and it makes each pixel about 59.1 micrometres across.
Q. How big is the Pixel 5 screen in millimetres?
63.9 mm wide and 138.4 mm tall, worked out from the 6" diagonal and the 6:13 aspect ratio. The visible area is roughly 13.7 square inches.
Q. How far away do pixels stop being visible on the Pixel 5?
About 20.3 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 Pixel 5 use?
19.5:9 (exactly 6:13), with the long edge 2.17× the short one. It is taller than it is wide, which suits a device you hold in one hand.
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.
