How this MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3 Pro/Max) reference works

The reference combines this display’s 3024 × 1964 resolution with its 14.2-inch diagonal. PPI is the diagonal pixel count divided by the physical diagonal: sqrt(width² + height²) / diagonal inches. The 254 PPI figure is a rounded hardware-display specification, useful as a starting estimate rather than a browser measurement.

Browser CSS pixels, operating-system scaling, and browser zoom can all differ from the panel’s hardware pixels. That is why a screen specification cannot by itself guarantee a physical on-screen inch.

Calibrate on this laptop

External displays, browser zoom, and operating-system scaling can change the effective scale. Treat this as a starting estimate, then confirm with a physical card on the active display.

Start with the 14.2-inch estimate, then compare the on-screen card guide with a physical standard card before relying on the ruler for a measurement. Recalibrate after changing zoom, display scaling, or the active screen.

Read the calibration guide or calculate PPI manually.
