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 ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 screen resolution?

1920×1200 pixels — 2,304,000 in total, about 2.3 megapixels, which puts it in the Full HD class.

Q. What is the pixel density of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11?

162 ppi. That is the diagonal in pixels of a 1920×1200 grid divided by the 14" diagonal of the panel, and it makes each pixel about 157.1 micrometres across.

Q. How big is the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 screen in millimetres?

301.5 mm wide and 188.5 mm tall, worked out from the 14" diagonal and the 8:5 aspect ratio. The visible area is roughly 88.1 square inches.

Q. How far away do pixels stop being visible on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11?

About 54 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 ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 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.
