What is screen PPI (Pixels Per Inch)?
The geometric concentration of physical pixels packed within one linear display inch. High PPI (>150 PPI) renders razor-sharp fonts without jagged artifacts.
Micro-Technology Solutions
Detects native resolution, refresh rate (Hz), DPI density, multi-monitor topology and HDR color capabilities.
Screen Information
Resolution, Hz, DPI and connected monitors.

This tool reads data from the browser's active screen. To see info about another monitor you must have it connected in extended mode — not mirror.

Uses the modern Window Management API to identify every connected physical display, exact desktop coordinates (X, Y), and orientation.
Measures real refresh rate using `requestAnimationFrame` delta sampling and calculates Device Pixel Ratio (DPR) for high-density Retina, 2K and 4K displays.
Inspects color gamut profiles (sRGB, Display P3, Rec. 2020), High Dynamic Range (HDR) support, and GPU color bit depth.
Fix secondary monitor not detected, 60 Hz lock, fuzzy text scaling, and mirrored display topology.
Press `Win + P` and select 'Extend'. If screen remains black, restart your graphics driver instantly with `Win + Ctrl + Shift + B`.
In NVIDIA/AMD Control Panel > Set up multiple displays, enable the undetected display and force EDID detection. Ensure your USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode).
Go to Windows Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings. In 'Choose a refresh rate', change 60 Hz to 144 Hz or your panel's maximum rating.
Many monitors limit HDMI ports to 60/120 Hz under older HDMI specs. Switch to a certified DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 cable, and enable 'DP 1.4 / Overclocking' in the monitor physical OSD menu.
Align scaling factors: Windows resamples bitmaps when moving between 150% (4K) and 100% (1080p) panels. Relaunching the app on the target monitor refreshes crisp DPI rendering.
Right-click the app shortcut > Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings > check 'Override high DPI scaling behavior' and set scaling performed by 'System (Enhanced)' or 'Application'.
Press `Win + P` and choose 'Extend'. In macOS go to System Settings > Displays > select the external monitor and change from 'Mirror' to 'Extended Display'.
Cheap passive HDMI splitters duplicate the same physical stream. Connect each monitor directly to separate GPU ports or use a DisplayPort MST (Multi-Stream Transport) certified dock.
Until 2010, one CSS pixel mapped 1:1 to a physical screen pixel. High-DPI screens revolutionized rendering: a single logical CSS point now utilizes 4 (DPR = 2) or 9 physical subpixels (DPR = 3) for razor-sharp typography.
The 60 Hz standard originated in early CRT televisions, where electron beam sweeps synchronized with the 60 Hz AC power grid in North America to prevent hum bars and visual electrical ripple.
Standard 8-bit displays produce 256 shades per RGB channel (16.7M colors). Modern 10-bit HDR panels produce 1,024 shades per channel, rendering 1.07 billion colors to eliminate gradient banding.
Commercial 4K UHD resolution is 3840 × 2160 pixels. It packs exactly four times the pixels of a 1080p Full HD monitor (8.29 million pixels vs 2.07 million pixels).

The geometric concentration of physical pixels packed within one linear display inch. High PPI (>150 PPI) renders razor-sharp fonts without jagged artifacts.
The digital bit width assigned to each primary RGB subpixel. 8-bit yields 16.7 million tones; 10-bit delivers 1.07 billion colors, eliminating gradient banding.
The frequency at which the monitor panel redraws the complete image raster per second (e.g., 60 Hz, 144 Hz, or 240 Hz), yielding ultra-smooth motion.
The proportional ratio between the active horizontal width and vertical height of a panel (e.g., 16:9 standard widescreen, 21:9 ultrawide, or 16:10 productivity).
