Screen Resolution Checker — Screen, Viewport & DPR

CSS pixels, device pixels and live viewport size — updated as you resize.

Quick answer: See your screen resolution in CSS and device pixels, available area, devicePixelRatio, color depth and a live viewport size that updates as you resize.

CSS pixels are what the browser uses for layout; device pixels are the physical dots on your panel. Effective resolution = CSS size × devicePixelRatio — that is the number to match wallpapers and screen recorders to.

How to use

  1. Read the big CSS-pixel figure — that is what websites design against.
  2. Check the effective resolution line for your panel's true pixel grid.
  3. Resize the window (or rotate a phone) and watch the viewport rows update live.
  4. Use the DPR row to explain why screenshots look bigger or smaller than expected.

About this tool

Screen-size questions get confusing fast: a “4K” laptop may report 1536 × 864 CSS pixels, a phone claims 390 points wide, and screenshots come out twice as large as expected. This checker separates the layers honestly. It shows your display size in CSS pixels, the available area after the taskbar or dock, the live viewport as you resize the window, color depth, orientation and — the number wallpaper sites actually want — the effective resolution in physical device pixels, computed as CSS size multiplied by devicePixelRatio. Everything updates live as you drag window edges or rotate a device, and the short note below the table teaches the CSS-versus-device pixel distinction in one read. The browser simply reports its own geometry; nothing leaves the page.

FAQ

Why does a 2560×1440 monitor show 1280×720?
Because devicePixelRatio is 2 — the browser lays out in CSS pixels and the panel doubles them. The effective (device pixel) line shows the true 2560×1440.
What is the difference between screen and viewport?
Screen is the whole display; viewport is the part of the browser window that renders the page, toolbars and scrollbars excluded.
Why is available screen smaller than screen?
The taskbar, dock or system UI reserves space; availWidth/availHeight reports what a maximized window can actually occupy.
Does this work on phones?
Yes — rotate the device and the orientation and viewport rows update live without reloading.
What resolution wallpaper should I download?
Use the effective resolution line — it equals the actual pixel grid of your panel, so wallpapers at that size render 1:1 sharp.
