about my 43" 4k philips monitor PPI

[thedannyguy]

hello for my 43" 4k monitor, i usually divide my screen into 4 separate windows. so each window is about 21.5". want to ask how do i calculate the PPI? is the PPI still the same as when i view my screen on one window, meaning a 43" windows? or the PPI gets higher because i view it on a smaller window(21.5"). am asking it coz i m considering to get another 43" monitor or 4 separate 4k monitors. meaning is there any benefif if i get 4 separate 4k monitor over a 43" 4k monitor that is viewed on 4 separate windows? thanks

Type in 3840 x 2160

102 PPI

It will always be 102 no matter how many screens you divide it into

I assume this is not for gaming as no current card in existence can do 60 fps in all games at 4k.... the 1080 supports 7680x4320@60Hz which works for a 2 x 2 screen stacking setup.

I'd be hesitant to invest in 4k at this point in time until 4k monitors are capable of supporting Display Port 1.4.

ok if i type in 3840 x 2160 and 43" i get 102 ppi

if i type in 21.5" i get 204 ppi.

its not for gaming. i read alot on my monitor wanna get highest ppi possible so eyes are less tired. thanks.

If you take a crayon and divide your screen in to 4 areas, it doesn't change the pixel density. By making 4 screens all you are doing is dividing the horizontal resolution by 2 and the vertical resolution by 2.

Screen 1 Screen 2

Screen 3 Screen 4


Use the calculator again with:

3840 / 2 = 1920 horizontal
2160 / 2 = 1080 vertical

Same result = 102 ppi

For reading, you'd be better off with a 23.6" at 1080p at the normal monitor viewing distances.

ok thats what i suspected too, thx for clarification
