Calculate display info like DPI and aspect ratio

Analyze any display. Input a few simple details and figure out the aspect ratio, DPI, and other details of a particular display. Great for deciding which laptop or external monitor to purchase, and if it would be considered HiDPI.

Handy features:

• Find out if a display is a good choice based on its size and resolution
• Get advice about different densities
• Learn the logical resolution
• Differentiate between laptops and desktop displays
• Stupid simple: all in a cute li'l window

Based my expertise and experience shipping HiDPI hardware and software at System76 and elementary.

Tells you if a display’s density is:

• Very Low DPI,
• Fairly Low DPI,
• Ideal for LoDPI,
• Potentially Problematic,
• Ideal for HiDPI,
• Fairly High for HiDPI, or
• Too High DPI

Made for GNOME

Dippi 4 was designed and developed on and for GNOME.

Developing and Building

If you want to hack on and build Dippi yourself, I recommend using GNOME Builder. Clone the repository, then just* hit run!

*If you're hitting issues, try "Update project dependencies" in the top-center build menu to ensure you have the SDK installed.
