What is my screen resolution?
Your screen resolution is the number of pixels your display shows horizontally and vertically, such as 1920 × 1080. This tool detects it instantly, together with the details web designers, developers and support teams usually need: the CSS resolution, device pixel ratio, browser viewport size, available screen space, aspect ratio, colour depth, colour gamut and HDR support. Everything is read locally from your browser.
Understanding the numbers
Physical resolution is the real number of pixels on the panel (for most setups). It is what manufacturers advertise, e.g. 2560 × 1440.
CSS pixels are the logical units websites use. When your system scales the display — for example 200% on a Retina screen — one CSS pixel covers several physical pixels, so text stays a readable size while looking sharper.
Device pixel ratio connects the two: physical pixels = CSS pixels × DPR.
Viewport is the visible page area inside the browser. It changes whenever you resize the window, open developer tools or show the bookmarks bar.
Common screen resolutions
| Name | Resolution | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|---|
| HD (720p) | 1280 × 720 | 16:9 |
| Full HD (1080p) | 1920 × 1080 | 16:9 |
| WUXGA | 1920 × 1200 | 16:10 |
| QHD (1440p) | 2560 × 1440 | 16:9 |
| UWQHD (ultrawide) | 3440 × 1440 | 21:9 |
| 4K UHD | 3840 × 2160 | 16:9 |
| 5K | 5120 × 2880 | 16:9 |
Who needs this information
Web designers and developers test responsive layouts against real viewport sizes and pixel ratios, and need them to reproduce visitors' bug reports.
Support and IT teams ask for screen details when troubleshooting display or layout issues — use the Copy button to send everything at once.
Gamers and creators confirm that a new monitor is running at its native resolution rather than a scaled or lower mode.
Anyone buying wallpapers, screenshots or presentations can match images to their exact screen size for the sharpest result.
