All devices

Using the full device table

This table lists every device in the database with its key display specifications. Sorting is the quickest way to answer common questions: sort by PPI descending to find the sharpest screens, by size to find the biggest or most compact panels, or by year to see what is newest.

The PPI column is the most useful for comparing sharpness across device classes, but remember context. A 457 PPI phone and a 163 PPI monitor are both “Retina” at their respective viewing distances; comparing a phone's PPI directly against a monitor's PPI overstates the difference. Within the same class, though, higher PPI reliably means crisper text.

The resolution column shows native pixels (width × height). Two devices can share a resolution and yet differ in sharpness — the same 2560×1600 panel looks denser on a 14″ laptop than on a 17″ one, which is exactly what the PPI column captures.

Refresh rate tells you how often the image updates per second. 60 Hz is the long-standing baseline; 120 Hz and above bring visibly smoother motion for scrolling and gaming. Panel indicates the underlying technology — OLED for deep blacks, IPS for color accuracy and viewing angles, VA for high contrast, LCD for budget devices.

Watch out for one easy trap: a very large low-PPI monitor and a small high-PPI phone can both be perfectly comfortable. Density only tells you how sharp a screen is at a given distance, not how good it is overall. When scanning this table, first narrow to a device class that matches your use case, then sort by PPI within that class for a meaningful sharpness ranking.

For a focused head-to-head on any two models, open the comparison tool. To compute density for a custom resolution, try the PPI calculator.
