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 Surface Laptop 5 13.5" 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 Surface Laptop 5 13.5"?
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 Surface Laptop 5 13.5" 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 Surface Laptop 5 13.5"?
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 Surface Laptop 5 13.5" 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.
