Resolution Calculation

Is the pixel density of 2560x1600 much larger than 5760x1080?

In other words triple 1080p monitor (23.6'') vs single large (30") monitor

do the maths yourself? also the pixel density is usually given in the specifications of the monitor.

Alright, let's do some Pythagoras:

[b]1080p Monitor, 23.6" diagonal[/b]
x^2+y^2=23.6^2, with y=9/16*x
yields:
x=20.56" and y=11.57", control: 20.56"/11.57" ~ 16/9; looking ok

1920 pixels / 20.56" = 93.34 ppi horizontally
1080 pixels / 11.57" = 93.34 ppi vertically

[b]2560*1600 Monitor, 30" diagonal[/b]
x^2+y^2=30^2, with y=[b]10[/b]/16*x
yields:
x=25.43" and y=15.90", control: 25.43"/15.90" ~ 16/10; looking ok

2560 pixels / 25.43" = 100.63 ppi horizontally
1600 pixels / 15.90" = 100.62 ppi vertically

If anyone finds any errors, feel free to mock me :lol:
