Methodology

PPI = square root of (horizontal pixels squared + vertical pixels squared) divided by diagonal inches. Pixel pitch = 25.4 / PPI millimeters.

Worked example

1920 × 1080 on a 15.6-inch display gives approximately 141.21 PPI.

Limits and sources

Use the native panel resolution and visible diagonal. Rounded corners and non-square pixels are excluded. There is no universal PPI score for a good display.

Background reference: Adobe pixel dimensions and resolution guide. The source supports the background concepts; results use the formula above.

FAQ

Does 4K always look sharper?

The same resolution on a larger screen has fewer pixels per inch. Viewing distance also changes perceived sharpness.
