About What Is My Screen Resolution Tool
This tool detects and displays your current screen resolution (physical display pixels), browser viewport size (visible page area), device pixel ratio (DPR/DPI), and colour depth. Web developers and designers use this to verify responsive layouts and ensure designs display correctly across different screen sizes.
Key Features
- Detects physical screen resolution (e.g. 1920×1080).
- Shows browser viewport width and height (the area your page uses).
- Shows Device Pixel Ratio (DPR) — important for retina/HiDPI displays.
- Shows colour depth (bits per pixel).
- Viewport updates live as you resize the browser.
How to Use the Tool
- Open the page — all display measurements are detected automatically.
- Your screen resolution, viewport, DPR, and colour depth are shown.
- Resize your browser window to see viewport dimensions update live.
Core Benefits
- Check if your monitor is correctly detected by the operating system.
- Verify that a media query breakpoint is triggering at the right viewport width.
- Know your DPR to ensure high-resolution images are served correctly.
Common Use Cases
- A web developer checking what viewport their CSS media query uses.
- Verifying a Retina/HiDPI display is running at 2x DPR.
- Checking screen resolution before screenshot-based documentation.
Pro Tips
- Screen resolution is the physical display. Viewport is the browser window's usable area (excludes toolbars).
- A 1440px wide monitor with DPR of 2 means the actual screen has 2880 physical pixels horizontally.
- CSS pixels ≠ physical pixels on HiDPI screens. window.innerWidth returns CSS pixels.
