Is this really how big the screen is?
yep, and I can't imagine how great will quake3 at 800x480 look on such a great screen...

you are joking, aren't you?'joa' said:can someone post an accurate picture of the screen, i tried to but my adobe is definitely showing me something sized incorrectly. I measured it with a ruler![]()
Actually, you can. If you have configured the DPI correctly on your computer, everything (even images) that should be 1cm irl are actually 1 cm on the screen.gibberish said:everyones monitor has different pixel pitch so you cant post the "real size" on here for everyone else to see. do it on paper.

Then use GIMP and see for yourself. It looks rather small on a computer screen, but when you think about it, it is quite small.
It looks bigger in those photos than the one i've drawn and cut out (and yes, I did measure it correctly!).'fischju2000' said:Or, you know,

Most people are on 96DPI monitors. Could you check and verify this is the correct size?'B-ZaR' said:Apparently my screen dpi is incorrect, because that picture was smaller than the screen of my paper model pandora (which is 1:1 scale).
The apparent size of objects varies greatly depending on the context (surrounding objects, patterns, colors, contrast...) and the focus of your sight. If you look at a typical QVGA cell phone screen, it looks tiny as hell. However, when you focus on it, you can see every last pixel of detail, and the apparent size of the screen grows. How big area of your display are you actually looking at any given time? You can maybe see the whole display, but when you use it you actually look at a very tiny portion of it at a time.'ashdjones' said:It looks bigger in those photos than the one i've drawn and cut out (and yes, I did measure it correctly!).

The first one was too small, and this one's too large
edit: NVIDIA X Server Settings tool tells me my monitor is 89x87 dpi
