That should produce a pretty accurate ruler. If the ruler is not accurate or it displays the wrong screen size, click on the 'select your monitor dimension' link and select the closest size that matches your screen (diagonal measurement). The web site can retrieve the resolution of your monitor but not the actual hardware identification or screen density. The zoom ratio of current page is 100, we recommend using a fixed zoom ratio of 100, different zoom ratios will affect the accuracy of the ruler, please compare the physical item and calibrate the setting by yourself. The ruler is based on a typical screen density and typical bezel losses. A variety of rulers A 2 m (6 ft 6 + 3 4 in) carpenters rule Retractable flexible rule or tape measure A closeup of a steel ruler A ruler in combination with a letter scale. That won't necessarily match anything in real life if you compare the screen display during editing to a ruler. The other is used within an application to display the output dimension when the 'document' is printed. One type displays the physical size of what is displayed on the screen (which requires input of the monitor pixel density for accuracy unless it is reporting pixels). If the manufacturer published a 14' spec for the width, that probably represents the nominal dimension of what is behind the bezel.Ī common pixel resolution for monitors is around 96 ppi, so 13.9' for 1366 pixels is about right. So that's not a particularly useful measurement for your purposes. First manufacturer specs for screen size are based on a diagonal measurement and may include what is hidden behind the plastic bezel. There may be several different things going on.
