Pixel is the most commonly used unit of measurement in web design. Unlike points or inches, this is not an absolute value. The final pixel size is determined by the user's screen resolution and size. So how do you determine the pixel size on your own monitor?
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the pixel size using a special calculator, which can be found at https://monik.com.ua/size_pixel/. It also determines the DPI and aspect ratio for your screen resolution. Fill in the required fields and click the "Calculate" button. It also includes a table with the most common modern diagonals and resolutions.
Step 2
To measure the size of a pixel in a particular image, measure this image on the screen with a ruler. Find the value vertically and horizontally. Then divide the resulting numbers by the horizontal and vertical resolution in pixels, respectively. Thus, you will get the approximate pixel size in millimeters (or centimeters, depending on how you measure).
Step 3
Visit your monitor manufacturer's website. Find the model you are interested in there. After that, find the passport data on it, they should indicate the pixel size characteristic of this monitor. The option is not easy and lengthy, but it also works.
Step 4
Use the scale factor specified in the Windows settings. Based on this method, the conversion of the object size from pixels to mm will look like this: width_mm: = width_pixels / PixelsPerInch * 25.4, where width_pixels will be the length of the object in pixels, and PixelsPerInch will be a property of the Screen object, which determines the scale factor of pixels per inch.
Step 5
Use the program "Mouseometer", which can be downloaded here https://blase.at.ua/load/9-1-0-3. With its help, you can measure the distance that the mouse travels. The program can measure the distance not only in pixels, but also in any other units of measurement (centimeters, meters, kilometers, etc.).
