iMac 24″ (4.5K) viewport size

2240 × 1260CSS px · 2× DPR · 4480×2520 physical

By default the iMac 24″ (4.5K) gives a full-screen web page a 2240 × 1260 CSS pixel viewport, drawn on a 4480 × 2520 pixel panel (device pixel ratio 2). That’s the size your media queries see, and it changes if the owner picks a different scaling option (listed below).

Paste your address (or localhost:3000). doesitfit shows it at exactly 2240 × 1260, with Chrome (macOS)’s bars if you want them, and tells you if anything spills.

What a web page actually sees

The full viewport is 2240 × 1260, but the browser’s own bars take some of it. In Chrome (macOS) a page gets about 2240 × 1149 on first load (24px menu bar and Chrome’s 87px tab strip + toolbar, maximized window, Dock hidden). That’s your real “above the fold”.

What it means for your CSS

Breakpoints

At 2240px: Tailwind uses 2xl (sm: md: lg: xl: 2xl: styles apply); Bootstrap uses xxl.

Content width

With 16px of padding on each side your text column is 2208px; with 24px it’s 2192px. Text closer than 8px to the edge looks cramped (more).

Sharp images

A full-width image needs about 4480px of real pixels (2240 × 2).

<img src="hero-4480.jpg"
  srcset="hero-800.jpg 800w, hero-4480.jpg 4480w"
  sizes="100vw" alt="…">

Styles for this width

Content-first breakpoints beat device lists, but if something breaks at this width:

@media (max-width: 2240px) {
  /* screens 2240px wide and narrower */
}

Other display size settings
