Windows exposes the panel to the browser through the display-scale setting. Only one of these rows is the default; the others are one dropdown away, and users with 192 PPI in front of them do change it.

Targeting the Surface Studio 2 in CSS
Device-specific media queries are brittle — a new model with the same width will not match. Use them for genuine per-device fixes only, and prefer width buckets for layout.
/* Target Surface Studio 2 specifically */
@media only screen
and (device-width: 2250px)
and (device-height: 1500px)
and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
/* … */
}
/* More useful in practice — the width bucket it falls into */
@media (min-width: 2250px) { /* … */ }Compare with other Windows Devices models

Questions about the Surface Studio 2 screen
What is the screen size of the Surface Studio 2?
The Surface Studio 2 has a 28-inch display. In CSS the viewport measures 2250 × 1500 px in portrait, and the panel itself has 4500 × 3000 physical pixels at 192 PPI.
What resolution should I design for on the Surface Studio 2?
Design at 2250 × 1500 and export assets at 2×. That gives you 4500 × 3000 px images, which is exactly what the panel renders. Designing directly at 4500 × 3000 means every measurement is 2 times larger than the CSS values you will write.
What is the device pixel ratio of the Surface Studio 2?
The Surface Studio 2 reports a device pixel ratio of 2. One CSS pixel therefore covers 4 device pixels. You can read it in JavaScript with window.devicePixelRatio.
Does the Surface Studio 2 always report 2250 px?
No — on Windows the CSS viewport is the panel divided by the display scale, and that is a user setting. 2250 × 1500 is what you get at the 200 % scale Windows recommends for this panel, which is what most units ship with. Change it in Settings → System → Display and every CSS pixel measurement changes with it. The table above lists the viewport at each scale step.
