Detailed Calculation Breakdown

Megapixels
3.69 MP
Pixel Density
108.8 PPI
Retina Distance
79.9 cm

Calculation Methodology

Diagonal Pixels = sqrt(Width^2 + Height^2). PPI Density = Diagonal Pixels / Diagonal Size Inches. Retina Distance (inches) = 3438 / PPI.

Important Legal & Educational Disclaimer

Retina viewing threshold is calculated using standard 20/20 human visual acuity resolving 1 arcminute of angle (300 PPI at 10-12 inches).

This calculator is designed for educational and informational purposes only based on public statutory frameworks. The outputs do not constitute binding financial, tax, or legal advice.
