Display resolution standards: Difference between revisions

Some graphics displays support multiple resolutions and aspect ratios, which can be changed by the user or by the software.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.howtogeek.com/119117/htg-explains-screen-resolutions-and-why-they-matter/ |title=Screen Resolutions and Why They Matter |publisher=How-To Geek |access-date=2023-04-27}}</ref> In particular, some devices use a hardware/[[native resolution]] that is a simple multiple of the recommended software/virtual resolutions in order to show finer details; marketing terms for this include "[[Retina display]]".

{{main|Storage aspect ratio}}

The favored [[aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]] of [[mass market|mass-market]] display [[industry (economics)|industry]] [[production (economics)|products]] has changed gradually from 4:3, then to 16:10, then to 16:9, and has now changed to 18:9 for [[smartphone]]s.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://techtippr.com/18-by-9-aspect-ratio-in-smartphones-is-the-new-trend |title=18:9 Aspect Ratio in Smartphones will be the new Standard in 2018, Here's why |last=Ahmed |first=Asif |date=13 November 2017 |newspaper=Techtippr |access-date=2018-10-01}}</ref>{{Update inline|date=May 2023}} The 4:3 aspect ratio generally reflects older products, especially the era of the [[cathode ray tube]] (CRT). The 16:10 aspect ratio had its largest use in the 1995–2010 period, and the 16:9 aspect ratio tends to reflect post-2010 mass-market computer monitor, laptop, and entertainment products displays. On CRTs, there was often a difference between the aspect ratio of the [[Display resolution|computer resolution]] and the aspect ratio of the display causing non-square pixels (e.g. {{resx|320|200}} or {{resx|1280|1024}} on a 4:3 display).

 

In response to usability flaws of now common 16:9 displays in office/professional applications,{{Citation needed|date=November 2022|reason=Which usability flaws? Source also needed for claim that manufacturing decision was in response to purported flaws.}} Microsoft and Huawei started to offer notebooks with a 3:2 aspect ratio. By 2021, Huawei also offers a monitor display offering this aspect ratio, targeted towards professional uses.

One drawback of this resolution regarding encoding is that the number of lines is not an even multiple of 16, which is a common [[macroblock]] size for [[video codec]]s. Video frames encoded with {{times|16|16}} pixel macroblocks would be padded to {{resx|640|368}} and the added pixels would be cropped away at playback. H.264 codecs have this padding and cropping ability built-in as standard. The same is true for qHD and 1080p but the relative amount of padding is more for lower resolutions such as nHD.

{{main|720p}}

 

In the mid-2000s, when the digital HD technology and standard debuted on the market, this type of resolution was often referred to by the branded name "[[HD ready]]" or "HDr" for short, which had specified it as a minimum resolution for devices to qualify for the certification. However, few screens have been built that use this resolution natively. Most employ 16:9 panels with 768 lines instead ([[#WXGA|WXGA]]), which resulted in odd numbers of pixels per line, i.e. 1365{{sfrac|1|3}} are rounded to 1360, 1364, 1366 or even 1376, the next multiple of 16.

 

The '''HD+''' resolution of {{resx|1600|900}} pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio is often referred to as "900p".

When support for 4K at 60{{nbsp}}Hz was added in DisplayPort 1.2, no DisplayPort timing controllers (TCONs) existed which were capable of processing the necessary amount of data from a single video stream. As a result, the first 4K monitors from 2013 and early 2014, such as the Sharp PN-K321, Asus PQ321Q, and Dell UP2414Q and UP3214Q, were addressed internally as two {{resx|1920|2160}} monitors side by side instead of a single display and made use of DisplayPort's Multi-Stream Transport (MST) feature to multiplex a separate signal for each half over the connection, splitting the data between two timing controllers.<ref>{{cite web |title=4K Ultra High Resolution Development |url=https://developer.nvidia.com/4k-ultra-high-resolution-development |work=NVIDIA Developer Zone |date=13 September 2013 |publisher=NVIDIA |access-date=2013-12-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=ASUS PQ321Q 31.5-in 4K 60 Hz Tiled Monitor Review |url=https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Displays/ASUS-PQ321Q-315-4K-Tiled-Monitor-Review/DisplayPort-12-MST-and-STMicro-Athena-Contr |last=Shrout |first=Ryan |date=19 July 2013 |publisher=PC Perspective |access-date=2016-01-07}}</ref> Newer timing controllers became available in 2014, and after mid-2014 new 4K monitors such as the [[Asus]] PB287Q no longer rely on MST tiling technique to achieve 4K at 60{{nbsp}}Hz,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pcdiy.asus.com/2014/01/pb287q-4k-for-the-masses |title=PB287Q 4K For The Masses – CES 2014 |publisher=ASUSTek |access-date=2014-08-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140921160015/http://pcdiy.asus.com/2014/01/pb287q-4k-for-the-masses/ |archive-date=2014-09-21 |url-status=dead}}</ref> instead, using the standard SST (Single-Stream Transport) approach.<ref>{{cite web |title=Video Perspective: Samsung U28D590D 28-in 4K Single Stream 60 Hz Monitor Review |url=http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Displays/Video-Perspective-Samsung-U28D590D-28-4K-Single-Stream-60-Hz-Monitor-Review |last=Shrout |first=Ryan |date=9 May 2014 |publisher=PC Perspective |access-date=2016-01-07}}</ref>

QVGA displays were most often used in mobile phones, [[personal digital assistant]]s (PDA), and some handheld game consoles. Often the displays are in a "portrait" orientation (i.e., taller than they are wide, as opposed to "landscape") and are referred to as {{resx|240|320}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tech-faq.com/qvga.html |title=QVGA (Quarter Video Graphics Array) |publisher=Independent Media |work=Tech-FAQ |access-date=2010-02-10}}</ref>

'''Wide QVGA''' or '''WQVGA''' are some display resolutions having the same height in pixels as QVGA, but wider.<ref name="Sony WQVGA">[https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/digital-music-players-nw-nwz-zx-series/nw-zx100hn/specifications Sony NW-ZX100HN Specifications] with WQVGA (400&nbsp;×&nbsp;240) on sony.com</ref>

 

WQVGA resolutions were commonly used in [[touchscreen]] mobile phones, such as {{resx|400|240}}, {{resx|432|240}}, and {{resx|480|240}}. For example, the [[Hyundai MB 490i]], [[Sony Ericsson Aino]] and the [[Samsung Instinct]] have WQVGA screen resolutions – {{resx|240|432}}. Other devices such as the Apple [[iPod Nano]] also use a WQVGA screen, {{resx|240|376}} pixels.

The marginally higher resolution {{resx|832|624}} is the highest 4:3 resolution not greater than 2¹⁹ pixels, with its horizontal dimension a multiple of 32 pixels.

The '''Extended Graphics Array''' ('''XGA''') or originally '''Extended Video Graphics Array''' ('''Extended-VGA''', '''EVGA''')<ref>{{cite web |title=XVGA |url=https://www.prad.de/lexikon/xvga/ |type=online encyclopedia |language=de |last=Roth |first=Andreas |website=www.prad.de |date=6 August 2017 |publisher=Prad Inside Display Technologies |access-date=May 21, 2023}}</ref> is an IBM display standard introduced in 1990.

'''Wide XGA''' ('''WXGA''') is a set of non-standard resolutions derived from XGA ({{resx|1024|768}}) by widening it to {{resx|1366|768}}<ref name="VESA TV"/><ref name="Hitachi Plasma TVs"/><ref name="Projector catalog XGA"/> with a [[widescreen]] aspect ratio of nearly 16:9 or to {{resx|1280|800}}<ref name="SPWG"/> with an aspect ratio of 16:10. WXGA is commonly used for low-end LCD TVs and LCD computer monitors for widescreen presentation. The exact resolution offered by a device described as "WXGA" can be somewhat variable owing to a proliferation of several closely related timings optimised for different uses and derived from different bases.

 

Widespread availability of {{resx|1280|800}} and {{resx|1366|768}} pixel resolution LCDs for laptop monitors can be considered an OS-driven evolution from the formerly popular {{resx|1024|768}} screen size, which has itself since seen UI design feedback in response to what could be considered disadvantages of the widescreen format when used with programs designed for "traditional" screens.{{Original research inline|date=May 2023}} In [[Microsoft Windows]] operating system specifically, the larger taskbar of Windows 7 occupies an additional 16-pixel lines by default, which may compromise the usability of programs that already demanded a full {{resx|1024|768}} (instead of, e.g. {{resx|800|600}}) unless it is specifically set to use small icons; an "oddball" 784-line resolution would compensate for this, but {{resx|1280|800}} has a simpler aspect and also gives the slight bonus of 16 ''more'' usable lines. Also, the Windows Sidebar in [[Windows Vista]] and 7 can use the additional 256 or 336 horizontal pixels to display informational "widgets" without compromising the display width of other programs, and Windows 8 is specifically designed around a "two-pane" concept where the full 16:9 or 16:10 screen is not required. Typically, this consists of a 4:3 main program area (typically {{resx|1024|768}}, {{resx|1000|800}} or {{resx|1440|1080}}) plus a narrow sidebar running a second program, showing a toolbox for the main program or a pop-out OS shortcut panel taking up the remainder.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

 

When referring to televisions and other monitors intended for consumer entertainment use, WXGA is often understood to refer to a resolution of {{resx|1366|768}},<ref name="VESA TV"/><ref name="Hitachi Plasma TVs"/> with an aspect ratio of very nearly 16:9. The basis for this otherwise odd seeming resolution is similar to that of other "wide" standards – the line scan (refresh) rate of the well-established "XGA" standard ({{resx|1024|768}} pixels, 4:3 aspect ratio) extended to give square pixels on the increasingly popular 16:9 widescreen display ratio without having to effect major signalling changes other than a faster pixel clock, or manufacturing changes other than extending panel width by one third. As 768 is not divisible by 9, the aspect ratio is not ''quite'' 16:9 – this would require a width of 1365{{1/3}} (1365.{{overline|3}}) pixels. However, at only 0.05%, the resulting error is insignificant. It is also occasionally referred to as FWXGA (Full Wide XGA), so it can be distinguished from other, narrower WXGA resolutions.<ref name="Schneider Electric FWXGA"/><ref name="Converters.tv FWXGA"/>

 

By 2013, even this was relegated to only being used in smaller or cheaper displays (e.g. "bedroom" LCD TVs, or low-cost, large-format plasmas), cheaper laptop and mobile tablet computers, and midrange home cinema projectors, having otherwise been overtaken by higher "full HD" resolutions such as {{resx|1920|1080}}.<ref name="Projector catalog XGA"/>

 

When referring to laptop displays or independent displays and projectors intended primarily for use with computers, WXGA is also used to describe a resolution of {{resx|1280|800}} pixels, with an aspect ratio of [[16:10]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dell.com/content/learnmore/learnmore.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&~id=screen&~line=notebooks&~mode=popup&~model=d800&~series=latit&ref=CFG |title=LEARN MORE LCD Displays |publisher=Dell |access-date=2013-05-22 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://shop.lenovo.com/ISS_Static/merchandising/us/specialoffers/popups/help_me_decide/popup_helpme_display.html |title=Help Me Decide |publisher=Lenovo |access-date=2013-05-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140102192233/http://shop.lenovo.com/ISS_Static/merchandising/us/specialoffers/popups/help_me_decide/popup_helpme_display.html |archive-date=2014-01-02}}</ref><ref name="SPWG"/><ref name="NEMA Specifications"/> This was once particularly popular for laptop screens, usually with a diagonal screen size of between 12 and 15 inches, as it provided a useful compromise between 4:3 XGA and 16:9 WXGA, with improved resolution in ''both'' dimensions vs. the old standard (especially useful in portrait mode, or for displaying two standard pages of text side by side), a perceptibly "wider" appearance and the ability to display 720p HD video "native" with only very thin letterbox borders (usable for on-screen playback controls) and no stretching. Additionally, it required only 1000{{nbsp}}KB (just under 1{{nbsp}}MB) of memory per 8-bit channel; thus, a typical double-buffered 32-bit color screen could fit within 8{{nbsp}}MB, limiting everyday demands on the complexity (and cost, energy use) of integrated graphics chipsets and their shared use of typically sparse system memory (generally allocated to the video system in relatively large blocks), at least when only the internal display was in use (external monitors generally being supported in "extended desktop" mode to at least {{resx|1600|1200}} resolution). 16:10 (or 8:5) is itself a rather "classic" computer aspect ratio, harking back to early {{resx|320|200}} modes (and their derivatives) as seen in the Commodore 64, IBM CGA card and others. However, as of mid-2013, this standard is becoming increasingly rare, crowded out by the more standardized and thus more economical-to-produce {{resx|1366|768}} panels, as its previously beneficial features become less important with improvements to hardware, gradual loss of general backwards software compatibility, and changes in interface layout. As of February 2024, the market availability of panels with {{resx|1280|800}} native resolution had been generally relegated to handheld gaming computers {{Original research inline|date=February 2024}} {{resx|1280|800}} is used by [[Valve Corporation|Valve]]'s [[Steam Deck]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Valve Steam Deck Specifications |url=https://www.steamdeck.com/en/tech/deck |website=www.steamdeck.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240117113218/https://www.steamdeck.com/en/tech/deck |access-date=7 February 2024|archive-date=2024-01-17 }}</ref> as well as several other handheld gaming computers.

 

Additionally, at least three other resolutions are sometimes labelled as WXGA:

 

* The first variant, '''{{resx|1280|768}}''',<ref name="VESA Asia Briefings Powerpoint"/><ref name="VESA-CVT"/><ref name="Silex technology WXGA, FWXGA, WSXGA"/><ref name="NEMA Specifications"/> can be seen as a compromise resolution that addressed this problem, as well as a halfway point between the older {{resx|1024|768}} and {{resx|1280|1024}} resolutions, and a stepping stone to {{resx|1366|768}} (being one-quarter wider than 1024, not one-third) and {{resx|1280|800}}, that never quite caught on in the same way as either of its arguably derivative successors. Its square-pixel aspect ratio is 15:9 (or 5:3), in contrast to HDTV's 16:9 and {{resx|1280|800}}'s 16:10. It is also the lowest resolution that might be found in an "[[Ultrabook]]" standard laptop, as it satisfies the minimum horizontal and vertical pixel resolutions required to officially qualify for the designation.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

* Second, the HDTV-standard '''{{resx|1280|720}}'''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=22206&vpn=EY.J4401.007&manufacture=Acer |title=Acer PH530 HDTV DLP Projector |publisher=NCIX |access-date=2013-05-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120429023140/http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=22206&vpn=EY.J4401.007&manufacture=Acer |archive-date=2012-04-29}}</ref> (otherwise commonly described as "[[720p]]"), which offers an exact 16:9 aspect ratio with square pixels; naturally, it displays standard 720p HD video material without stretching or letterboxing and 1080i/1080p with a simple 2:3 downscale. This resolution has found some use in tablets and modern, high-pixel-density mobile phones, as well as small-format "netbook" or "ultralight" laptop computers. However, its use is uncommon in larger, mainstream devices as it has an insufficient vertical resolution for the proper use of modern operating systems such as Windows 7 whose UI design assumes a minimum of 768 lines. For certain uses such as word processing, it can even be considered a slight downgrade (reducing the number of simultaneously visible lines of text without granting any significant benefit as even 640 pixels is sufficient horizontal resolution to legibly render a full page width, especially with the addition of subpixel anti-aliasing).{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

'''XGA+''' stands for '''Extended Graphics Array Plus''' and is a computer display standard, usually understood to refer to the {{resx|1152|864}} resolution with an aspect ratio of 4:3. Until the advent of widescreen LCDs, XGA+ was often used on 17-inch desktop CRT monitors.<ref name="Projector catalog XGA"/><ref name="Nickl"/> It is the highest 4:3 resolution not greater than 2{{sup|20}} pixels (≈1.05 [[megapixel]]s), with its horizontal dimension a multiple of 32 pixels. This enables it to fit closely into a video memory or framebuffer of 1{{nbsp}}[[Megabyte|MB]] (1 × 2{{sup|20}} [[byte]]s), assuming the use of one byte per pixel. The common multiple of 32 pixels constraint is related to [[Data structure alignment|alignment]].

 

XGA+ is the next step after [[#XGA|XGA]] ({{resx|1024|768}}), although it is not approved by any standard organizations. The next step with an aspect ratio of 4:3 is {{resx|1280|960}} ([[#QuadVGA|QuadVGA]]) or {{resx|1400|1050}} ([[#SXGAplus|SXGA+]]).

'''SXGA+'''<ref name="NEMA Specifications"/><ref name="SPWG"/><ref name="Dell Screen Resolutions List 1 VGA to QUXGA"/> stands for '''Super Extended Graphics Array Plus''' and is a [[computer display standard]]. An SXGA+ display is commonly used on 14-inch or 15-inch laptop LCD screens with a resolution of {{resx|1400|1050}} pixels. An SXGA+ display is used on a few 12-inch laptop screens such as the [[ThinkPad]] X60 and X61 (both only as tablet) as well as the [[Toshiba]] Portégé M200 and M400, but those are far less common. At 14.1 inches, [[Dell]] offered SXGA+ on many of the Latitude C-Series laptops, such as the C640, and IBM since the ThinkPad T21.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} Sony also used SXGA+ in their Z1 series, but no longer produces them as widescreen has become more predominant{{when|date=June 2023}}.

 

In desktop LCDs, SXGA+ is used on some low-end 20-inch monitors, whereas most of the 20-inch LCDs use UXGA (standard screen ratio), or WSXGA+ (widescreen ratio).{{citation needed|date=June 2023}}

 

A rare resolution of {{resx|2800|2100}}, i.e. with double the pixels horizontally and vertically, is known as '''QSXGA+'''.<ref name="Dell Screen Resolutions List 1 VGA to QUXGA"/>

 

'''WSXGA+'''<ref name="NEMA Specifications"/><ref name="SPWG"/><ref name="Dell Screen Resolutions List 1 VGA to QUXGA"/><ref name="Nvidia FWVGA WSXGA+"/> stands for '''Widescreen Super Extended Graphics Array Plus'''. WSXGA+ displays were commonly used on Widescreen 20-, 21-, and 22-inch LCD monitors from numerous manufacturers (and a very small number of 19-inch widescreen monitors), as well as widescreen 15.4-inch and 17-inch laptop LCD screens like the Thinkpad T61p, the late 17" Apple [[PowerBook G4]] and the unibody Apple 15" [[MacBook Pro]]. The resolution is {{resx|1680|1050}} pixels (1,764,000 pixels) with a 16:10 aspect ratio.

 

WSXGA+ is the widescreen version of [[SXGA+]]. The next highest resolution (for widescreen) after it is [[#WUXGA (1920×1200)|WUXGA]], which is {{resx|1920|1200}} pixels.

 

 

 

 

'''WUXGA'''<ref name="SPWG"/><ref name="Dell Screen Resolutions List 1 VGA to QUXGA"/><ref name="NEMA Specifications"/> stands for '''Widescreen Ultra Extended Graphics Array''' and is a display resolution of {{resx|1920|1200}} pixels (2,304,000 pixels) with a 16:10 screen aspect ratio. It is a wide version of [[#UXGA (1600×1200)|UXGA]]. By some producers it is called '''''FHD+''''' because it is the next bigger resolution in vertical direction after [[#FHD|FHD]] ({{resx|1920|1080}}).<ref name="Dell FHD+, UHD+, 3.5K"/> WUXGA/FHD+ can be used for viewing high-definition television (HDTV) content, which uses a 16:9 aspect ratio and a {{resx|1280|720}} (720p) or {{resx|1920|1080}} (1080i or 1080p) resolution.

 

The next lower standard resolution (for widescreen) before it is WSXGA+, which is {{resx|1680|1050}} pixels (1,764,000 pixels, or 30.61% fewer than WUXGA); the next higher resolution widescreen is an unnamed {{resx|2304|1440}} resolution (supported by the above GDM-FW900 and A7217A) and then the more common WQXGA, which has {{resx|2560|1600}} pixels (4,096,000 pixels, or 77.78% more than WUXGA).

Instead, WQXGA has exactly ''four'' times as many pixels as a WXGA ({{resx|1280|800}}) hence the name "''Quad''-WXGA" would fit but [[#QWXGA|QWXGA]] is defined as {{resx|2048|1152}} pixels.

 

 

 

An early consumer WQXGA monitor was the 30-inch Apple Cinema Display, unveiled by Apple in June 2004. At the time, dual-link DVI was uncommon on consumer hardware, so Apple partnered with [[Nvidia]] to develop a special graphics card that had two dual-link DVI ports, allowing simultaneous use of two 30-inch Apple Cinema Displays. The nature of this graphics card, being an add-in AGP card, meant that the monitors could only be used in a desktop computer, like the Power Mac G5, that could have the add-in card installed, and could not be immediately used with laptop computers that lacked this expansion capability.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

Released in November 2012, Google's [[Nexus 10]] is the first consumer [[tablet computer|tablet]] to feature WQXGA resolution. Before its release, the highest resolution available on a tablet was QXGA ({{resx|2048|1536}}), available on the Apple iPad 3rd and 4th generations devices. Several Samsung Galaxy tablets, including the Note 10.1 (2014 Edition), Tab S 8.4, 10.5 and TabPRO 8.4, 10.1 and Note Pro 12.2, as well as the Gigaset QV1030, also feature a WQXGA resolution display.

 

 

 

'''QSXGA'''<ref name="Dell Screen Resolutions List 1 VGA to QUXGA"/> ('''Quad Super Extended Graphics Array''') is a display resolution of {{resx|2560|2048}} pixels with a 5:4 aspect ratio. Grayscale monitors with a {{resx|2560|2048}} resolution, primarily for medical use, are available from [[Planar Systems]] (Dome E5), [[Eizo]] (Radiforce G51), [[Barco NV|Barco]] (Nio 5, MP), [[Wide-angle Infinity Display Equipment|WIDE]] (IF2105MP), IDTech (IAQS80F), and possibly others.

 

 

 

 

'''QUXGA'''<ref name="Dell Screen Resolutions List 1 VGA to QUXGA"/><ref name="NEMA Specifications"/> ('''Quad Ultra Extended Graphics Array''') describes a display standard that can support a resolution up to {{resx|3200|2400}} pixels, assuming a 4:3 aspect ratio.

 

 

Most [[Graphics card|display cards]] with a DVI connector are capable of supporting the {{resx|3840|2400}} resolution. However, the maximum refresh rate will be limited by the number of DVI links connected to the monitor. 1, 2, or 4 DVI connectors are used to drive the monitor using various tile configurations. Only the IBM T221-DG5 and IDTech MD22292B5 support the use of dual-link DVI ports through an external converter box. Many systems using these monitors use at least two DVI connectors to send video to the monitor. These DVI connectors can be from the same graphics card, different graphics cards, or even different computers. Motion across the tile boundary(ies) can show [[screen tearing|tearing]] if the DVI links are not synchronized. The display panel can be updated at a speed between 0{{nbsp}}Hz and 41{{nbsp}}Hz (48{{nbsp}}Hz for the IBM T221-DG5, -DGP, and IDTech MD22292B5). The refresh rate of the video signal can be higher than 41{{nbsp}}Hz (or 48{{nbsp}}Hz) but the monitor will not update the display any faster even if graphics card(s) do so.{{citation needed|date=April 2023}}
