Definition and Usage
The pixelDepth property returns the color resolution (in bits per pixel) of the visitor's screen.
Tip: The pixelDepth property is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions. However, the colorDepth property represents the same thing as the pixelDepth property. Since all major browsers support colorDepth, use that property instead.
Browser Support
The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.
