    that last point you made is what Ive been looking for ages. I thought the pixels increased/decreased in size. Didn't imagine there would be space between the pixels

    • @ruleaus7664

      I thought the same. So, all pixels on all screens across all devices are the exact same size?

      @@ruleaus7664 precisely. The thing that changes size is the distance or space between the pixels. I think this is a very significant piece of information that many "experts" leave out of their definitions. This guy got it right. So you have 1920 x 1080 pixels on very different sized monitors and the pixel size will remain the same however there will be more in-between space on the larger monitor

    A "browser" for pixel may not be the best example. You could have chosen an image for better understanding.

    So is the screen door effect also caused by a low resolution on a bigger monitor? Thinkin of getting a new one with a higher resolution because my current one shows the pixel grid too visibly at a higher frame rate.

    Laptop Go 2 : 1536 x 1024 (148 PPI)
    15.6" Laptop : 1920 x 1200 (145 PPI)
    The density of the pixels is measured in pixels per inch. PPI determines the physical size of each pixel. If both Laptop Go 2 and a 15.6" Laptop both roughly have 145 pixels per inch, does that mean if these two screens were to compared side by side, the FONT would be the same size on both displays?
    This is important for people who read lots of text and do word processing.
    Can you do a video to demonstrate this?

    Great video, but why would your "experiment or example" look cramped on a 10 inch tablet? Yes, a bigger screen benefits from having a higher resolution, but a smaller screen like the 10 inch one, having a resolution of 4x4 pixels (as an example) would give you a "crisp" image, right?

    • @WhatTheTechIO
      @WhatTheTechIO  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it definitely would give a crisp image. The image looks better on the smaller screen if the resolution stays the same. However, depending on the image, you may have to sit much closer to the screen to appreciate the detail.

    Wats gona be the best monitor for my xbox 360, it only runs at 720p! What size should I go for and does 720p look better on a native 720p monitor?

    • @WhatTheTechIO
      @WhatTheTechIO  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Generally running native resolution will look better than downscaling. There wouldn't be a huge difference in quality, but one area you would probably notice lower quality would be onscreen text if you downscaled from 1080p -> 720p.

    Ok I'm going to ask a question cause...I'm not tech savvy. I'm a stock trader. I have four, 27inch 4k monitors with a decent graphics card. I'm wanting to get a 55inch tv with HDMI connection which is ALSO 4K. Now if I did my match correctly my four, 4k monitors actually can fit entirely within the shape of the 4k tv I'm wanting to get. Everything is 4k. If I setup my four 27inch monitors 2x2 (2 on top of 2 on a quad monitor mount) in a multi monitor situation, and I got everything linked up...will the real estate on the tv 55inch just be more spacious or will there be as if one of my 4k, 27inch monitor got blown up and folled up the entire 55inch tv? Or will it be as if four of my 4k 27inch fit inside the tv 2 x 2?

    • @WhatTheTechIO
      @WhatTheTechIO  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question! It would be as if just one of your 4k 27" monitors got expanded to 55". So you would only have 1/4 the overall pixels that you are used to in your current setup.
      However, one thing to keep in mind, because you are using 27" monitors, the operating system has probably scaled up the content so it's easier to see. So if you got a 4k 55" TV you could view the content at its original scale, and probably fit more content on the display.
      Hope this answered more questions than it created!

      @What The Tech ok so ...if im just looking for more space on one tv without the icons changing so I can fit more charts on a big screen this should do it? Don't worry i won't hold it to you, I'm just wondering before I get this. Am I correct in being able to put more charts on it? If that's incorrect..how can I make that happen?

      @WhatTheTechIO  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@sstevens6274 you can fit more usable content on a 55” tv than the 27” monitor. However not as much as 4 monitors, probably closer to 2.

    so will 1080p resolution look better in a 17inch than ina 27inch?that means there is an advantage for small screen right?for gaming purpose we can reduce the resolution and increase fps right?so should i go for a 15inch or 27inch monitor for gaming?

    • @WhatTheTechIO
      @WhatTheTechIO  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Karthik, the only advantage to a smaller screen would be more detail because there are the same amount of pixels, but spread out over a smaller space. The lower the resolution you go, the better FPS you get. But a 1080p screen would have to same FPS regardless of if it was 27" or 17", because the computer is still rendering the same number of pixels. Hope this helps!

    why doesn't my browser width on full screen have the same width as my screen resolution width? So, my screen resolution is 3200x1800. With the google chrome Extension Page Ruler Redux I measured my browser at full screen and it says that the browser has 1600px width. How comes?

    • @BittuKumar-hw8bb

      Because screen resolution and screen size both are different things. Screen size is the actual physical size of the screen and screen resolution means how many pixels are used for more clarity.
