flat screen size

16 x 24 inch flat screen

sqrt ((16*16)+(24*24))

28" diagonal.

That is NOT an average panel. It would be very, very expensive.

My 21.3" Samsung is 1600×1200. Depending on whether you chose a wide screen, it would be some variation close to that.

Hi and Happy Imaging,

What is the size in pixels for an average 16 inches by 24 inches flat screen?

Not true. An LCD panel has ONE proper resolution.

What is the resolution of this ‘thing’?
72, 96, more pixels/inch?

He didn’t ask about the resolution he asked what the size was in pixels.

And whilst TFT screens have a native resolution it’s not the *only* resolution.

OK, explain the difference between ‘size in pixels’ and resolution. The resolution IS the size in pixels.

Regularly, when talking about graphics or image manipulation, resolution defines the level of detail in image when outputted with selected output device, usually measured by dots per inch (dpi). Image size is it’s outputted measurements.

On screen use you relly can’t even try to show image with it’s real resolution, it would be useless as the screen’s real output resolution is unknown to application showing the image, for example you can use 1280*960 pixel screen with 17 inch or with 19 inch monitor, not to mention differencies in sizes between different manufacturers/monitor types and so on. You can try this by selecting View/Print size in PS with different monitors/screen sizes, it tries to emulate real resolution of the image, but it fails for the reasons explained above.

But in print, if you have 16*9 cm image with 400 dpi resolution, it prints same sized on every printer and even if you change the resolution lower (with resample of course, otherwise you’d be changing the image size), it still has same printed size, only less information is sent to printer and printed on paper.

The term ‘resolution’ can be used also otherwise
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_resolution), but that’s how most of us (or at least I do) understand and use it.

Actual answer to the original question (as I understand it) is that it depends the monitor in case, usually lcd-monitors nowdays have somewhere around 90-110 pixels per inch (so 16*24 would be between 1440*2160-1760*2640 pixels), but it hast to be resolved from the monitor’s manual.

I understand all that, but in the context of the question, specifically focused on a flat panel — where true definition of ‘resolution’ doesn’t apply, I believe my answer was in context.

Very kindly, Sami, below, has given you an explanation of the difference between resolution and size in pixels. I would suggest that you learn the basics of images and image manipulation before jumping in again in an area you don’t really understand.

I don’t know who Sami is (quoting not your strength?), but I DO know the difference. BUT, in the context of the OP, it was meaningless. You misunderstood the question.

Tom

Now I could be very wrong on this one! and I’m sure someone will tell me if I am 🙂
A lcd screen is made up of pixels unlike a shadow mask tube. the lcd will have a definite X-Y size in pixels and indeed a PPI
as a pixel can only have one state it is impossible to have half the pixel one colour and half another colour, so the pixel is the smallest element. (am I right?)
so the screen can’t have a resolution higher than the grid size of the panel However other things define the resolution of the panel for example bandwidth of the electronics.
so it woudl be quite possible to have a screen resolution lower than the pixel count of the panel. however the converse in not true you can’t have a higher screen res than the physical pixel count of the panel. am I correct on this one?

The person (named in the author column of your newsreading software who gave you an explanation to which you replied, and whose post was directly below mine. Easy isn’t it?

but I DO know the
difference. BUT, in the context of the OP, it was meaningless. You misunderstood the question.

He asked about the NUMBER of pixels. If he was asking about resolution he would have used the word resolution. If he didn’t I can’t be expected to read his mind.
