A '''display resolution standard''' is a commonly used [[display resolution|width and height dimension]] (display resolution) of an [[electronic visual display]] device, measured in [[pixel]]s. This information is used for electronic devices such as a [[computer monitor]]. Certain combinations of width and height are standardized (e.g. by [[Video Electronics Standards Association|VESA]]) and typically given a name and an [[Acronym|initialism]] which is descriptive of its dimensions. A graphics display resolution can be used in tandem with the size of the graphics display to calculate pixel density. An increase in the pixel density often correlates with a decrease in the size of individual pixels on a display.
The graphics display resolution is also known as the display mode or the video mode. It indicates the number of distinct pixels that can be displayed on a screen, which affects the sharpness and clarity of the image. The graphics display resolution can be controlled by various factors, such as the type of display device, the signal format, the aspect ratio, and the refresh rate.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.britannica.com/technology/display-resolution |title=Display resolution |publisher=Encyclopædia Britannica |access-date=2023-04-27}}</ref> The graphics display resolution can be expressed as a single number (e.g. 1080p), which represents the number of horizontal or vertical pixels, or as two numbers separated by a multiplication sign (e.g. 1920×1080), which represent the width and height in pixels.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-display-resolution-1846849 |title=What Is Display Resolution? |publisher=Lifewire |access-date=2023-04-27}}</ref>
