Pixels Per Inch (PPI) Formula
| Symbol | Meaning & Description |
|---|---|
| PPI | Pixels Per Inch (density indicator) |
| W | Display Resolution Width in pixels |
| H | Display Resolution Height in pixels |
| D | Diagonal physical screen size in Inches |
W² = 3,686,400. H² = 1,166,400. Sum = 4,852,800
Diagonal Pixels = √(4,852,800) = 2202.91 px
PPI = 2202.91 ÷ 15.6 inches = 141.21 PPI
Spacing = 25.4 mm ÷ PPI = 0.1799 mm
