Good stuff. By the way, what is the source for the "popularity" figure? How often is it updated?

This is a terrific resource, especially the "Device-W" column. Thank you.<p>For the tablets though, I'm finding the table's usability diminished by the inconsistent width/height relationships. For most of the devices width is smaller than height, but for a number of them it's the opposite. Why is this? Is this how the manufacturers report the #'s?<p>Edit: I realize now that it's because different tablets have different default orientations. Yet another challenge in designing for mobile.

The other resolution I find important is facebook canvas app sizes and facebook page apps. And also the actual usable size of the browser in a phone after URL bar is taken into account. Awesome anyway though.

Quite awesome as a reference.<p>If you want it to be really cool, show a graphical mode above the table to be able to compare different rows of the table by relative size. Shouldn't be too hard to draw some rectangles :)

Including aspect ratio as a column would be helpful, so we don't have to calculate width / height in our heads.

Thanks, this is nice.<p>Just a request: Can stuff be "merged"? When looking at computer monitors, I sometimes don't care about if it's an Asus, Acer, Samsung etc. Sometimes all I want is a grouping to show common screen sizes/densities/etc.<p>And where do you get the popularity from? Can't believe 70% of all screens are by Apple.

A possibly useful expansion idea:<p>My nexus 7 is physically 800 x 1280. However if you're running VNC in landscape mode you want to set up a non-scrolling session of 1280x736 because of the bars.<p>Other than VNC I suppose similar issues exist if you're trying to edit a pixel-perfect background image or something like that.

Tangentially related - we did some analysis a little while ago of how screen size affects use behaviour (in terms of data consumption) - <a href="http://opensignal.com/reports/data-usage-by-screen-size/" rel="nofollow">http://opensignal.com/reports/data-usage-by-screen-size/</a>

Clean and tidy design. Does exactly what it promises to do. You don't get any better then this. Well done.

This is a perfect example of a very simple idea that makes for an awesome, handy site.

AWESOME! This is really handy for both mobile and monitor screensizes.

FYI I think it's silly that such a simple informational website should require javascript just to display the information.<p>Yes I am that noscript-nazi everyone dislikes.
