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 2.8K on a 14" screen screen resolution?

2880×1800 pixels — 5,184,000 in total, about 5.2 megapixels, which puts it in the 2.8K class.

Q. What is the pixel density of the 2.8K on a 14" screen?

243 ppi. That is the diagonal in pixels of a 2880×1800 grid divided by the 14" diagonal of the panel, and it makes each pixel about 104.7 micrometres across.

Q. How big is the 2.8K on a 14" screen 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 2.8K on a 14" screen?

About 36 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 2.8K on a 14" screen 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.
