Microsoft Surface Studio
4500 by 3000 pixels on a 28 inch monitor, introduced in 2016.
From the 2012 to 2023 Pixensity database, not re-verified. The old page listed 193.15 PPI. Archived copy of the old page.

Width and height follow the order the maker prints them in; phones are usually listed with the long side first.
- Pixel pitch (computed from PPI; a rectangular estimate, not a measured panel pitch)
- 131.5 um
- Physical size (computed from the rectangle, not the usable area)
- 23.3 by 15.53 in (59.2 by 39.5 cm)
- Aspect ratio (computed)
- 3:2
- Megapixels (computed)
- 13.5
- Looks sharp from (assuming 20/20 vision, one pixel per arcminute)
- 17.8 in and further
- Pixels per degree at an assumed 26 in viewing distance
- 87.7
- Density as a percentage of Windows' 96 PPI reference (a ratio, not a scaling recommendation)
- 201%
- macOS 2x workspace (hypothetical: half the native resolution in points)
- 2250 by 1500 points
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(4500^2 + 3000^2) / 28; 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.
