That because the measurements used in web browser, "px", doesn't mean "screen pixels".
According to the W3 website :
"The
pxunit is defined to be small but visible, and such that a horizontal 1px wide line can be displayed with sharp edges (no anti-aliasing). What is sharp, small and visible depends on the device and the way it is used: do you hold it close to your eyes, like a mobile phone, at arms length, like a computer monitor, or somewhere in between, like an e-book reader? Thepxis thus not defined as a constant length, but as something that depends on the type of device and its typical use."So a very high definition smartphone can be seen as being less than 800(px)x600(px), depending on its screen size and aspect ratio, while still being 4k or more.
Nice essay comrade, but who tf mentioned px? Might as well write me a thesis on em vs pt
Because everyone (including most devs, myself included until some month ago) think that px = pixels, which is not.
When he says that the minimum is 800x600, it is most likely talking about px and not pixels.
