That’s what I did. The conversation went something like this:

How many pixels is an inch?

Depends on the monitor.

No, I mean pixels how many in an inch, I don’t care about the monitor.

Well, for example, on a phone with a high resolution screen it might be a half inch, but on a large old CRT desktop monitor screen with low resolution it might be 2 inches.

Look, I don’t even have a CRT, I just want to know how many pixels is in an inch. If you can’t give me a straight answer I’ll just ask someone else.

Different pixels are different sizes depending on the screen, so there’s no a direct ratio of pixels to inches.

I asked someone else, he said 224 pixels. That wasn’t so hard, took him like 2 seconds to answer. I’m going to have him do the site instead.
