Screen Resolution Test: Viewport, DPR and Pixels

Run a screen resolution test to see viewport size, CSS screen dimensions, device pixel ratio, orientation, fullscreen state, and estimated physical pixels.

Settings

Live measurement

Readings update automatically when the viewport, orientation, or full-screen state changes. Use Refresh after moving this window to another display.

How to understand your screen resolution test

Viewport

The part of the web page currently available to content, measured in CSS pixels. Browser controls and side panels can reduce it.

CSS screen size

The browser-reported screen dimensions in CSS pixels. Operating-system scaling can make this smaller than the panel’s hardware pixel grid.

Device pixel ratio (DPR)

The approximate ratio between device pixels and one CSS pixel for the current browser context.

Estimated physical pixels

CSS screen size multiplied by DPR. This is a useful estimate, not proof of the display’s native resolution.

The values update when the viewport, orientation, zoom context, or fullscreen state changes. If you use multiple monitors, move this window to the target display and refresh or resize it so the browser reports the current environment.

Why a browser may not know native monitor resolution

Browsers expose display information in a privacy-conscious, layout-oriented form. Operating system scaling, browser zoom, remote desktop, display mirroring, virtual machines, multiple displays, and privacy protections can all separate reported CSS dimensions from the physical panel grid. Multiplying screen width by DPR can therefore match the native resolution on one device and be wrong on another.

For the authoritative hardware mode, compare the result with Windows Display settings, macOS Displays settings, your graphics control panel, or the monitor specification. The browser result is most reliable for web layout and current viewport questions.

Technical reference: MDN: Window.devicePixelRatio and MDN: Screen.width.

Frequently asked questions

What is my actual screen resolution?
Use the detected values above as browser-reported information. Treat the physical-pixel calculation as an estimate and confirm the native mode in system display settings.
Why is the viewport smaller than the screen?
Browser chrome, scrollbars, split view, developer tools, and operating-system UI can all reduce the page area.
Does browser zoom change device pixel ratio?
It can. Browser and platform behavior varies, so compare values at the zoom level you actually use.
Can this identify my monitor model?
No. The browser does not reliably expose a monitor model or its certified native resolution.
