How to use this result

Screen resolution is the physical pixel grid reported by the device. It is useful for QA notes, device screenshots, and display troubleshooting.

Remember that CSS viewport size can be smaller than the physical resolution because browsers, scaling, and DPR change how pages are rendered.

How screen resolution differs from viewport

Screen resolution tells you the physical pixel grid of the display. It is useful, but it does not always match the CSS viewport used by a website.

Display troubleshooting

Use resolution values when checking monitor settings, screenshots, external displays, or scaling issues.

CSS rendering context

A high-resolution display can still report a smaller CSS viewport because browsers and operating systems scale the page.

Better bug reports

Copy resolution together with viewport and DPR so the report has both physical and CSS context.

Frequently asked questions

What does screen resolution mean?

It is the number of physical pixels reported for the screen width and height.

Why is my resolution not equal to my browser width?

The browser viewport is affected by window size, browser UI, zoom, scaling, and DPR.

Can this detect my monitor size in inches?

Browsers do not reliably expose physical diagonal size, so this checker focuses on pixel measurements.

Is screen resolution useful for responsive design?

It is useful context, but viewport width is usually the key value for responsive CSS.
