However, appearances are deceiving.

What Are Pixels?

A pixel is defined as a picture element.

Each pixel contains red, green, and blue color information (referred to as subpixels).

The following illustration shows a close-up of subpixels.

This total is referred to aspixel density.

Regardless of screen size, the horizontal/vertical pixel count and pixel density don’t change for a specific resolution.

This results in a pixel density of about 2.1 million.

A 32-inch TV that displays 1080p resolution has the same number of pixels as a 55-inch 1080p TV.

The same thing applies to video projectors.

A 1080p video projector will display the same number of pixels on an 80 or 200-inch screen.

These includebrightness, contrast, color, tint, color temperature, and other configs.
