Display
The Cat S42 comes with a 5.5-inch IPS LCD screen that offers a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels in an 18:9 aspect ratio. While the screen-to-body ratio stands at around 62.6%, resulting in somewhat noticeable bezels, the display serves its purpose effectively under bright light conditions, a common requirement for fieldwork. While the pixel density of approximately 293 ppi might not rival high-end smartphones, it remains adequate for routine tasks like reading text or watching videos.
