Display resolution standards: Difference between revisions

 

== Overview by vertical resolution and aspect ratio ==

* NO PREDICTION: This is a table of standard resolutions that readers may currently encounter or have encountered in the past. It is not for predicting what resolutions they may encounter in the future by trying to extrapolate new resolutions from past patterns to "predict" or list your expectations of what the next standard resolution will be.

* NO MADE-UP CALCULATOR RESOLUTIONS: Please do not add made-up calculator resolutions or MADE-UP NAMES to this table.

* ONLY DISPLAY NAMES: PAL/SECAM and NTSC, for instance, have well-known digital signal resolutions (with non-square pixels), but the respective digital screens at 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios have been labeled WXGA, VGA etc. They should only be included where explicitly supported by digital display connection standards like HDMI.

* DOCUMENT WHAT ACTUALLY EXISTS, NO ORIGINAL RESEARCH: When a resolution does not have any standardized name, that does NOT mean it is an opportunity for you to make up your own naming convention that you think is logical and perhaps SHOULD be used. Wikipedia rules prohibit made-up names and values.
