Every row above is computed here from the stated resolution and the stated diagonal. With w and h in pixels and the diagonal in inches: PPI = sqrt(w^2 + h^2) / diagonal, which here is sqrt(1920^2 + 1200^2) / 24; pixel pitch = 25.4 mm / PPI; physical size = pixels / PPI, which is the full panel rectangle and not the usable area, so a screen with rounded corners or a notch has less usable area than the size shown; sharpness distance = 1 / (PPI x tan(1/60 degree)), the distance at which one pixel spans one arcminute for 20/20 vision; pixels per degree = 2 x distance x tan(0.5 degree) x PPI at the assumed viewing distance. Values are rounded to two decimals, and to one decimal for the pitch, the sizes in centimeters, the distances, and the pixels per degree.

Legacy entry 1916, re-verified against Dell's user guide for the UltraSharp U2412M. Dell prints the screen size as "60.96 cm (24-inches viewable image size)", so that is the diagonal used here and no marketing size is recorded. The guide states no PPI, so the maker's own figure is not recorded. Refresh is 60 Hz at the maximum preset resolution of 1920 by 1200.
