Pixel density at common screen sizes
A resolution on its own says nothing about sharpness — the same 1440x900 panel is dense on a laptop and coarse on a television. Density is the diagonal in pixels divided by the diagonal in inches.
| Diagonal | Pixel density | |
|---|---|---|
| 13.3 in | 128 PPI | Comfortable at native size |
| 15.6 in | 109 PPI | Comfortable at native size |
| 24 in | 71 PPI | Coarse — individual pixels are visible at desk distance |
| 27 in | 63 PPI | Coarse — individual pixels are visible at desk distance |
| 32 in | 53 PPI | Coarse — individual pixels are visible at desk distance |

Frequently asked questions
What is the aspect ratio of 1440x900?
8:5.
How many pixels is 1440x900?
1,296,000 pixels, or 1.30 megapixels.
Is 1440x900 higher resolution than 1080p?
It has 63% of the pixels of a 1920×1080 frame.
What size screen suits 1440x900?
Pixel density is what decides that. 128 PPI at 13.3 in, 109 PPI at 15.6 in, 71 PPI at 24 in, 63 PPI at 27 in, 53 PPI at 32 in. Below roughly 110 PPI text starts to look coarse; above about 200 the operating system will usually scale the interface rather than render it at native size.
