Coming in late here, but: @nicksherman > If I know the physical size of a display, I have a MUCH better idea of how far away the viewer will be from it than I would from a relatively arbitrary pixel count. You'd still end up inferring things. What if you find out that a display is physically large. It doesn't tell you if it's a TV type device (with a viewing distance of 10' ~ 3m) or a large touchscreen device meant to be stood in front and manipulated. I've long argued that the problem is potentially already solved if devices chose a sensible ideal viewport size https://patrickhlauke.github.io/web-tv/ideal-viewport/index.html -- GitHub Notification of comment by patrickhlauke Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/614#issuecomment-260408182 using your GitHub accountReceived on Monday, 14 November 2016 17:51:22 UTC
