This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2022.
The resolution CSS media feature can be used to test the pixel density of the output device.
The resolution feature is specified as a <resolution> value representing the pixel density of the output device. It is a range feature, meaning that you can also use the prefixed min-resolution and max-resolution variants to query minimum and maximum values, respectively.
<p>This is a test of your device's pixel density.</p>
/* Exact resolution with unit `dpi` */
@media (resolution: 150dpi) {

}
}
/* Minimum resolution synonym units: `dppx` and `x` */
@media (min-resolution: 2dppx) {
p {
text-decoration: underline;
}
}
@media (min-resolution: 2x) {
p {
text-decoration: underline;
}
}
/* Maximum resolution with unit `dpcm` */
@media (max-resolution: 2dpcm) {
p {
background: yellow;
}
