14in vs 15in laptop LCD

[rainypickles]

so i know that laptops and lcds in general have trouble with non-native resolutions because they are dots/pixels on the screen that cant be divided further. that makes sense.

does this mean that a 14 in laptop actually has 1024x786 pixel elements in it? and that would be a 15in screen running at 1024x768 has the same number of pixels? my conclusion here would be that 15in screens would have bigger pixels than the 14in.

so obviously, everything would look bigger on the 15in, but would everything look granier because of the increased pixel size?

thanks!

You are correct in your assumption.

They both have 1024x768 pixels. The 15" one will have slightly bigger pixels.

It is only slightly more grainer though. I would get a bigger res on a 15" though personally.
