Description
Analyze a display probe into refresh rate, resolution class, and pixel density estimates.
Display Checker: Analyze a display probe into refresh rate, resolution class, and pixel density estimates.
When to use Display
Use this check to inspect a browser, device, network, permission, media, or input capability directly in the current runtime before relying on it in another workflow.
- Display probe
- Display probe supplied by the surface.
How Display works
Analyze a display probe into refresh rate, resolution class, and pixel density estimates. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Refresh rate (Hz)
- Measured refresh rate in hertz.
- Refresh class
- Nearest common refresh-rate label.
- Width (px)
- Viewport width in CSS pixels.
- Height (px)
- Viewport height in CSS pixels.
- Resolution class
- Classification of the shorter side.
- Pixel ratio
- Reported device pixel ratio.
- Issues
- Stable machine-facing degradation codes.
Limitations and assumptions
- Results describe the current browser session and can change with permissions, privacy controls, hardware, drivers, network path, power state, or browser updates. Unsupported or withheld information is not proof that the underlying capability is absent.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Repeat the check in the browser and device that will actually be used, then confirm important behavior with the relevant operating-system or network diagnostics. Avoid granting permissions that are unnecessary for the test.
