Formula and example
How it is calculated
PPI = √(width² + height²) ÷ diagonal in inches; pixel pitch = 25.4 mm ÷ PPI
Worked example
A 24-inch display with 1,920 × 1,080 pixels has a density of approximately 91.79 PPI.
Things to check
- The calculation assumes square pixels and the diagonal of the visible display area.
- PPI measures display pixels per inch. DPI is a different measure used for a printing system’s dot resolution.
