How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “A spacious 32-inch workspace”, “Work and entertainment both get sharp 4K detail”, and “Video and peripherals share one USB-C cable”. A need with no documented match is not counted.

How we calculatedWe work out pixel density from the published diagonal and native resolution, rounded to the nearest whole pixel per inch. How large text looks still depends on operating-system scaling. The median draws on the 44 of 50 models that publish comparable figures.
