Screen DPI/PPI & Viewing Distance Calculator
Resolution + diagonal size -> pixel density (PPI) and dot pitch.
This answers a screen pixel-density question (how sharp does this display look up close?) — for a print-sharpness question (how many pixels do I need for a clean print at this size?), see the Print Resolution / DPI Calculator instead.
Pixel density
91.79 PPI
Dot pitch
0.277 mm
Suggested viewing distance for general desktop/office use: roughly 36″–60″ (a commonly used heuristic of 1.5×–2.5× the screen's diagonal size, not a hard rule).
What is this tool?
Answers a screen pixel-density question — how sharp does this display look up close — from its resolution and diagonal size, distinct from the Print Resolution / DPI Calculator's print-sharpness question (how many pixels do I need for a clean print at this size). Also shows a commonly used desktop/office viewing-distance heuristic (roughly 1.5x-2.5x the diagonal size), cited as a rule of thumb, not a hard spec.
How to use it
- Enter the screen's pixel resolution (width x height).
- Enter the diagonal screen size in inches.
- Read pixel density (PPI), dot pitch, and the suggested viewing-distance range.
