What is Resolution to Inches?

Resolution to inches is a conversion that allows you to understand the physical dimensions of a display based on its pixel resolution and diagonal size. This is particularly useful when trying to determine the actual size of a screen, which can be important for fitting a display into a specific space or understanding how large an image will appear.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formulas:

\[ AR = \frac{1920}{1080} = 1.78 \]

\[ H = \sqrt{\frac{24^2}{1.78^2 + 1}} = 11.77 \text{ inches} \]

\[ W = 11.77 \times 1.78 = 20.95 \text{ inches} \]

The Width is 20.95 inches and the Height is 11.77 inches.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formulas:

\[ AR = \frac{2560}{1440} = 1.78 \]

\[ H = \sqrt{\frac{27^2}{1.78^2 + 1}} = 13.24 \text{ inches} \]

\[ W = 13.24 \times 1.78 = 23.56 \text{ inches} \]

The Width is 23.56 inches and the Height is 13.24 inches.
