Checking how different settings look across devices. For a 2560x1440 screen, 400 DPI on a 1080p monitor should match what you get on a 2K display. Let me know if you need further clarification.

In CSGO it seems to have no impact (maybe I'm mistaken), but on desktop it does.

Dots Per Inch (DPI) measures how many pixels shift across the display based on physical distance traveled on the desk. This value remains consistent for all users. But higher pixel movement per inch means greater visual impact when the same DPI is used.

The term DPI refers to dots per inch, but 2K provides a higher pixel count.

Higher quality demands greater DPI; 2k offers 56% more pixels than 1080p. At 400 DPI, 625 DPI would be required to maintain the same feel.

On a 4K 30-inch display, each inch movement translates to a different pixel shift compared to a 30-inch 1080p screen.

DPI remains consistent across various resolutions, yet it shifts with stretched aspect ratios. Many experts prefer 4:3 stretched or even 16:10 ratios compressed. This stretching or squeezing alters the perceived size because of distortion. That’s why people share resolutions and aspect ratios when talking about mouse sensitivity. Edit: the idea that DPI/dots per inch depends only on resolution applies mainly to Windows and cursor overlays, not FPS games like CS:GO as I believed we were discussing.

On CS:GO I often adjust between 1280x960 and 1920x1200. The change is quite obvious for me (800 dpi, raw input off on 6/11 Windows).
