    no, no, they have a point

    why is a resolution primarily measured in vertical pixels, but a screen size is measured in diagonal? shouldn’t it be vertical, so that it’s easily comparable across resolutions and sizes?

      Are resolutions predominantly measured in vertical pixels? I thought it was horizontal? Like, 1080p is 1080 wide? I don’t know anything about resolutions though so I’m likely wrong!
