About This Tool

The Screen Resolution Checker inspects your monitor's physical pixel dimensions, operating system workspace, current browser viewport size, and retina device pixel ratio.

### Hardware & Viewport Metrics Inspected The utility reads hardware and window properties through standard browser DOM APIs: - Physical Screen Resolution: Queries `window.screen.width` and `window.screen.height` for total monitor dimensions in CSS pixels. - Available Workspace: Reads `window.screen.availWidth` and `window.screen.availHeight`, representing usable desktop estate excluding OS taskbars, docks, and menu bars. - Browser Viewport Size: Measures active rendering canvas dimensions (`window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`), updating automatically whenever you resize the browser window. - Device Pixel Ratio (DPR): Evaluates `window.devicePixelRatio`, indicating the ratio of physical hardware pixels to CSS reference pixels on High-DPI (Retina) displays. - Color Depth: Identifies display bit depth (`window.screen.colorDepth`, typically 24-bit or 32-bit true color).

### Worked Diagnostic Example Consider a laptop connected to a 1080p external display: - Monitor Screen Dimensions: $1920 \times 1080$ CSS pixels - Available Desktop Area: $1920 \times 1040$ pixels ($40\text{ px}$ reserved for OS taskbar) - Browser Viewport: $1440 \times 820$ pixels inside a maximized window - Device Pixel Ratio: $1.0\times$ (Standard non-retina scaling) - Color Bit Depth: $24\text{-bit}$ Truecolor ($16.7\text{ million}$ colors)

### 100% In-Browser Diagnostic All hardware checks and viewport listener events run locally on your client machine with zero telemetry or tracking scripts.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Load the page to immediately view your current monitor resolution and viewport metrics.

  2. 2

    Resize your browser window to observe real-time updates to inner viewport width and height.

  3. 3

    Check your Device Pixel Ratio (DPR) to confirm whether your display uses 1x standard or 2x/3x retina scaling.

  4. 4

    Copy the resolution specifications for bug reporting or responsive web development testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between screen resolution and viewport size?

Screen resolution represents your physical monitor display size, while viewport size measures the actual rectangular browser viewing area currently displaying web content.

What does a Device Pixel Ratio (DPR) of 2.0 mean?

A DPR of 2.0 indicates a High-DPI or Retina display where each logical CSS pixel is rendered using 4 physical hardware pixels (2 horizontal by 2 vertical).

Are my hardware display specifications sent to an analytics server?

No. The diagnostic values are queried directly from browser window objects without network transmission.
