screen resolution
The transition to high-density pixel displays that began with smartphones and tablets has spread to the computer monitors. 4K PC screens appeared in 2014, and understanding pixel density has become important when choosing a product, along with screen size and resolution. Our topic is the transition to high pixel density screens, including trends in the latest technology. There are two standards for 4K resolution, “DCI 4K” and “UHD 4K”. DPI (dots per inch) is the number of dots located within a 1-inch scan or print line. For monitors and displays, DPI is discarded in favor of PPI (pixels per inch). Although PPI is an accurate term for monitors and other displays, the two terms are often used interchangeably. High-density monitors or Retina monitors sold by Apple are generally recognized as having a physical pixel density greater than 200 pixels per inch (PPI). This means that they have twice the pixel density of a classic resolution computer monitor. Smartphones and tablets are the main drivers for this trend due to their low cost and high pixel density, which is usually higher than 250 PPI. This means that the average person cannot see individual pixels on a high-density screen, 10-15 inches away on a smartphone or tablet, or 20+ inches on a laptop or computer screen. The number of device pixels that make up a CSS pixel in one direction is its Device Pixel Ratio (DPR). You can interpret this as the width (or height) of the grid of device pixels that fit inside one CSS pixel. Every device has a different DPR. Higher resolution devices have a higher DPR. These devices can see sharper images because they devote more screen pixels to each CSS pixels. This means nuances in the image are better represented if a Web browser (or any other application for that matter) naively continues to say that one pixel according to the app’s concept of pixels is the same as one pixel on the screen, then eventually you have text and images so small that they’re impossible to view easily. The reason that CSS pixel ratio was created is because as phones screens get higher resolutions, if every device still had a CSS pixel ratio of 1 then webpages would render too small to see. 4K monitors for PCs hit the shelves in 2014, and understanding pixel density has become important when choosing products along with screen size and resolution. It is predicted that 4K will replace Full HD as the standard resolution. Of course, 4K stands for 4,000 and refers to a horizontal number of pixels around this number. DCI 4K has twice the screen resolution of 2048 x 1080 pixels on projectors (4096 x 2160 / approx. 17: 9) and is the 4K industry's 4K resolution. UHD 4K (also called UHDTV 4K), on the other hand, is the 4K resolution of the television industry, which was defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). It has twice the horizontal resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels Full HD (3840 x 2160/16: 9). Since the second half of the 2000s, square screens with 5: 4 and 4: 3 image formats have been in decline in the PC screen market, while 16: 9 and 16:10 widescreen screens are on the rise and becoming too established. At the same time, there was a shift from square 17 "and 19" screens to 23 "and 24" widescreen screens. There is also an active trend for 27 "or larger widescreen displays for even more comfortable environments. This transition is split between those looking for a larger workspace, 3840 x 2160 pixels (UHD 4K) or 2560 x 1440 Pixel select ( WQHD), and those looking for a screen with better visibility at a lower price, choose 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD). In recent years, ultra-wide screen products with even wider screens have also hit the shelves. These are super wide screen products with a 21: 9 aspect ratio.
