Display resolution calculator

This calculator solves for the geometric dimensions of a display and its resolution. The effective resolution is reported in pixels per degree - the units that corresponds to the image projected into the retina. You can enter your data into any editable field to compute the other display parameters.
Yellow fields — entered data.
Green fields — computed data.

Effective resolution

For a flat-panel display, its effective resolution varies by a small amount across the screen. Below is the estimate for the centre of the screen and an average across the screen.

Resolution limit

The plot below shows how good is the resolution of the display specified above. The number on the right of the bar indicates the percentage of the population that is likely to notice the difference between the display of the given resolution and a perfect display. This estimate is based on our measurememnts of the resolution limit of the human eye [a paper in preparation].
