In fact, using !important is completely unnecessary in the code you have shared. Do not use it unless absolutely necessary—it defeats the purpose of cascading styles. — Terry

Try this

if (window.matchMedia("(min-width: 400px)").matches) {
  /* the viewport is at least 400 pixels wide */
} else {
/* the viewport is less than 400 pixels wide */
}
