3024x1964 resolution

What 3024x1964 is
A modern high-density laptop panel. The unusual height comes from the rows behind the camera housing being addressable, so the usable 16:10 area is shorter than the full framebuffer.
The numbers
| Width | 3,024 px |
| Height | 1,964 px |
| Aspect ratio | 3:2 (nearest — the exact reduction is not a standard shape) |
| Total pixels | 5,939,136 |
| Megapixels | 5.94 MP |
| Compared with 1080p | 2.86× the pixels |
| Compared with 4K UHD | 0.72× the pixels |
What 3024x1964 costs to move and to store
A frame is width × height × three bytes of colour, before any compression touches it. At 3024 × 1964 that is 17.82 MB per frame, and video is frames per second:
| Frame rate | Uncompressed | An hour of it |
|---|---|---|
| 24 fps | 428 MB/s | 1.54 TB |
| 30 fps | 535 MB/s | 1.92 TB |
| 60 fps | 1.07 GB/s | 3.85 TB |
| 120 fps | 2.14 GB/s | 7.7 TB |
Nobody ships that. It is the number codecs exist to get away from — a streamed 3024x1964 feed runs at a few tens of megabits, which is a compression ratio of several hundred to one, and it is why a still frame from a stream looks worse than a photograph of the same scene.
How close you have to sit for 3024x1964 to be worth it
The eye resolves about one arcminute of detail. Past a certain distance the pixels merge whatever the panel does, and a higher resolution stops being visible rather than stopping being better. That distance is the pixel pitch divided by the tangent of one arcminute:
| Screen | Pixels merge beyond |
|---|---|
| 13.3 in monitor or laptop | 0.32 m (1.1 ft) |
| 15.6 in monitor or laptop | 0.38 m (1.2 ft) |
| 24 in monitor or laptop | 0.58 m (1.9 ft) |
| 27 in monitor or laptop | 0.65 m (2.1 ft) |
| 32 in monitor or laptop | 0.77 m (2.5 ft) |
| 43 in television | 1.04 m (3.4 ft) |
| 55 in television | 1.33 m (4.4 ft) |
| 65 in television | 1.57 m (5.2 ft) |
| 75 in television | 1.82 m (6 ft) |
Sitting further back than the figure for your screen, 3024x1964 and the next resolution down look the same. That is the whole argument about 4K televisions in ordinary living rooms: the resolution is real and the seating position usually is not close enough to show it.
Pixel density at common screen sizes
A resolution on its own says nothing about sharpness — the same 3024x1964 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 | 271 PPI | High density — the OS will scale the interface |
| 15.6 in | 231 PPI | High density — the OS will scale the interface |
| 24 in | 150 PPI | Sharp |
| 27 in | 134 PPI | Comfortable at native size |
| 32 in | 113 PPI | Comfortable at native size |

Frequently asked questions
What is the aspect ratio of 3024x1964?
3:2 — approximately. 3024×1964 does not reduce to a tidy ratio, so it is very slightly off the standard shape.
How many pixels is 3024x1964?
5,939,136 pixels, or 5.94 megapixels.
Is 3024x1964 higher resolution than 1080p?
3024x1964 has 2.86× as many pixels as a 1920×1080 frame.
What size screen suits 3024x1964?
Pixel density is what decides that. 271 PPI at 13.3 in, 231 PPI at 15.6 in, 150 PPI at 24 in, 134 PPI at 27 in, 113 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.
