    Best 27" display for a late 2013 Macbook Pro with the highest ppi?

    I'm looking for the closest resolution to the retina screen as I can find, while still being compatible with my older macbook pro (13" late 2013). I don't like blocky text and that's most important to me in terms of improvement. I have a 4k 27" msi monitor and the text is not great. It's scaled...

    iPhone 14/Plus Pixel density of 14 Plus vs. Pro Max

    14 Plus has a pixel density (pixels per inch, or PPI) of 458, while the Pro Max has 460 ppi, barely any different. Anyone seen any difference in these screens' text sharpness from a ppi perspective?

    Ultrawide 3440*1440 (LG 34WN750 ) vs LG 32UN880 4K monitor/ Why different clarity on same visual ppi

    I have a Dell U2720Q(4K monitor) with 163 PPI and the text looks clear. Earlier I had Acer XV272U (2K monitor) display with 109 PPI and the text looked so fuzzy. Now I want to get a 32/34UW/38UW display. What should be the ideal PPI for them? Very confused since people are saying 110 PPI is good...

    After effects comp preview on high DPI screens

    Do we have any AE users who have high DPI/large screens? I'm running a 4k 32" monitor from a 15" Mbp and it seems it's running at 144ppi, which means my comp (1080p) display is tiny on screen, not essentially the half it should be. It's obviously hard to see detail in a comp at 100% when it's...

    Screen resolution query

    I could probably find the answer to this out on the interwebz, but thought I'd ask it here. With the new wave of monitors upon us having higher Pixel Per Inch ratios, do I now need to present my images at a higher PPI rate than 72 for them to appear with fine detail to those viewing on the...

Looking at display resolution and PPI, I was able to determine that the iPhone X has a physical display width...

    Photographer - Upgraded to 256 GB iPhone 7 from 6S Plus & Unhappy!

    Dear iPhone Users, I'm feeling like Apple sold me a little short on their smaller iPhone 7...
