I’ve been playing around with the DLP projector setup with its 1080p resolution. I measured the smallest features I’ve printed to be around 0.25 mm. Its small but not that small. I wonder what else could be done to get better resolution. Probably adding an aperture.

    It’s a reasonable resolution since I don’t have any way to really adjust the resolution visibly.

    At 1080p, and a size of 8x10", what is the pixel size? Answer What is video resolution? 1080p - Wikipedia What is 1080p Resolution and The Difference between 4K and 1080p A Complete List of Video Resolutions and their Pixel Size

    To calculate the pixel size for a 1080p resolution on an 8x10" display, we need to determine the pixel density and then convert it to pixel size.

    First, let's identify the resolution for 1080p:
    1920 x 1080 pixels
    

    Now, we need to calculate the diagonal resolution: Diagonal resolution = √(1920² + 1080²) ≈ 2203.39 pixels

    The diagonal size of the display is: √(8² + 10²) ≈ 12.81 inches

    Using the pixel size formula

    :
    Pixel Size = (Diagonal Size / Diagonal Resolution) * 25.4 mm/inch
    Pixel Size = (12.81 / 2203.39) * 25.4 ≈ 0.147 mm
    

    Therefore, the pixel size for a 1080p resolution on an 8x10" display is approximately 0.147 mm.

    So at 0.25mm I’m not actually far from the max.
