If your target market is the whole world, please also provide dimensions using the metric system. For most of the world, inches don't mean anything.
4.2” is approx. 10.7 cm.
- robertlangdon 5y agoAh missed this. Have updated now. Thanks!
- bambax 5y agoWow, excellent, thanks!
- jonsen 5y ago> (~10.7cm) Maybe also X cm x Y cm
- robertlangdon 5y agoLooks confusing imo. Exact dimensions are mentioned here though https://docs.paperd.ink/docs/hardware/hardware/#dimensions https://docs.paperd.ink/docs/hardware/hardware/#dimensions
- jonsen 5y agoAlso nice to know: 400 x 300 px found on the block diagram.
- croon 5y agoI'm a staunch metric supporter, but to be fair I have never encountered a country that measures screens as anything other than inches.
- prox 5y agoStill it’s nice to do to give you an idea (and vice versa to imperial)
- tashbarg 5y agoProbably because diagonal is the only supplied value. That is mostly used for comparing screen sizes and little else. At least in my metric world. You could probably measure screen sizes in fractions of blue whales and it would work out exactly the same for most folks.
- franga2000 5y agoMany places in europe have legal requirements about using national standard units. In Slovenia for example, you'll always see both inch and cm diagonal measurements for screens (with W×H usually only in cm).
