Just be aware that measurements you make using the default ruler should only be considered as quick and dirty approximations. If, however, you’re not after high accuracy, you can go ahead and work with the default ruler that this page displays on your screen. Now, when you have selected your display size, this page recalibrates the above ruler and the result is an accurate ruler in its actual size. Technical documentations usually include device screen size (diagonal size) information. Alternatively, if you have the original technical documentation of your device handy, you could refer to it. If you don’t know the value of the diagonal screen size of your device, in most cases you can quickly Google the information by searching with your device’s model name. This is why I strongly recommend that you manually calibrate this ruler using the options provided above.

Depending on the class and type of your device, the error in the original screen size value reported by your operating system may vary from a few millimeters to several centimeters (or even up to a full inch). This value is what is used to display this ruler the first time you visit this page. However, as earlier mentioned, your operating system does give us an “educated guess” about the physical screen size.
And if the browser doesn’t know the physical screen dimensions, it is not possible for something running inside the browser (in this case JavaScript) to know the physical screen dimensions either. Technically speaking, there is really no way for the operating system running on a device to tell what the physical screen dimensions of the device are and so, there is no way for any program (like a browser) running on that operating system to tell the exact screen dimensions either. The reason for this has to do with browser and operating system constraints. It is merely proposed as an approximate value for consideration. The device size supplied by your browser may not correspond to the real size of your device in many practical cases. Your browser determines and exposes your screen resolution, but there is no way to be very sure about your monitor size (or the screen size of your phone or tablet) if you don’t explicitly select it. In order to display a ruler in its actual size, two details should be known: Don't get the two mixed up or you'll really be confused.Why You Should Enter Your Screen Dimensions (Diagonal Screen Size) If you can stop someone in the store to help explain the inconsistency, they'll start throwing around a few words like "nominal sizes" and "actual sizes" and "softwood lumber" and "hardwood lumber." Hopefully they will take the time to explain exactly what these words mean, which will go a long way towards making you feel more comfortable about buying wood.įor starters, you'll need to know that softwood (like pine, spruce, and fir) is measured and sold one way, and hardwood (like oak, maple, and cherry) is measured and sold in a totally different way. Measure the actual width and thickness of a pine board (like a 2x4) and then look at the sign above the rack. On your next trip to Home Depot or Lowes, take along a tape measure and head over to the dimensional lumber aisles. That means a 2x10 is actually 1 1/2 inch in thickness by 9 1/4 inches. The larger 2x boards (2x8, 2x10, etc.) lose 3/4 inch in width. That means a 2 x 4 board is actually 1-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches. 2x Board SizesĢx4 and 2圆 boards lose 1/2 inch in thickness and 1/2 inch in width before leaving the mill. That means a 1x10 is actually 3/4 inch in thickness by 9 1/4 inches. The larger 1x boards (1x8, 1x10, etc.) lose 3/4 inch in width. That means a 1 x 4 board is actually 3/4 inches by 3 1/2 inches.
1x4 and 1圆 boards lose 1/4 inch in thickness and 1/2 inch in width before leaving the mill.
