The default for a laptop and even for a desktop monitor today is still 1920x1080.
Yes the rage has been extended to way higher resolutions than 10 or 15 years ago but only the higher-end devices actually use them.
If you go in an office building FHD screens are the norm maybe 2 of them. The average user who doesn't care about specs of his laptop and doesn't have a ifruit product as status symbol (or because hes trapped in the fruit ecosystem) will have a 1920x1080 screen laptop.
- onion2k 4y agoIt doesn't matter what the default is. When you make a website you need to make it work for everyone, including people at the edges. That means delivering something that works on a 'retina' display, which means using high resolution assets. Web devs should be building sites that deliver the best assets for the users device, but they often don't and just send the giant images and let the users browser scale them down to fit. Hence bigger websites.
