Intended Screen Size

The intended platform for our content is a screen that is between 13 and 16 inches long when measured diagonally. These dimensions correspond to the most common screen sizes for most laptops.

We decided to format our content to fit laptop screen dimensions, because we assumed laptops would be the most common display our subscribers would use to access our content. Furthermore, these dimensions sit at a midpoint between the smaller phone and tablet screens, as well as the larger desktop monitor screens. This means that our content can be adjusted to fit on these smaller and larger displays with fewer adjustments. 

So – if you have an average laptop, you’re most likely going to be able to access our content without any problems. 

Fixed Size Displays

Phones – Our content is generally accessible via phone sized screens. However, despite our efforts, there are some elements that will not be visible / usable. This is particularly true of some images, as well as large data tables and charts. There is simply no good way to view a table with fourteen rows and columns on a phone screen. On these smaller screens, you might also run into some issues with spacing, content appearing collapsed or “smushed”, and certain graphics being difficult to see.

So – if you are on the go, and want to read some content on your phone – that is fine. However, please make sure to use a laptop sized screen if you want to optimally view some media, charts, and tables. 

Tablets – Depending on their size, tablets can be good options to view our content. Like phones, the smaller tablets might still pose a problem for viewing tables and charts, but should be better than most phones. Larger tablets, particularly those 13 inches in diagonal length and larger, should be equivalent to an average laptop user’s viewing experience.

Desktops – Desktop monitors are usually fine to view our content as long as they are 13 inches or larger in diagonal length. It is worth mentioning that you might start having issues if you want to completely fill an entire screen that is much larger than 16 inches diagonally – particularly around content spacing elements. However, you don’t have to fill your entire screen with our content. We’d recommend limiting the size of your browser window such that the contents are displayed without distortions, gaps, stretching, and similar issues.

Variable Sized Displays

VR/AR Headsets – We have tried accessing our content via VR/AR headsets, and it generally works well. The main recommendation is to set the “in world” window displays to the most comfortable size, font weight, and dimensions that suit the content and your comfort. It takes a minute or two of fidgeting with the settings, but it works well. 

Projectors – Given the flexibility of a projector’s focus length and projection image size, it is easy to modify the projectors settings to get optimal viewing of our content. Like the VR/AR Headsets, it just takes a minute or two of fidgeting with the settings to get an optimized experience.
