The CSS pixel is a rather complex unit, some people call it âmagic unitâ. The W3C CSS Reference gives us a pixel definition:
âThe reference pixel is the visual angle of one pixel on a device with a pixel density of 96dpi and a distance from the reader of an armâs length. For a nominal armâs length of 28 inches, the visual angle is therefore about 0.0213 degrees. For reading at armâs length, 1px thus corresponds to about 0.26 mm (1/96 inch).â
(reference: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-3/#reference-pixel)
So a CSS pixel is typically completely different from a physical hardware pixel. The pixel unit is defined to be small but still visible.
