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).

All standard HD resolutions share a {{ratio|16|9}} aspect ratio, although some derived resolutions with smaller or larger ratios also exist, e.g. {{ratio|4|3}} and {{ratio|64|27}}, respectively. Most of the narrower resolutions are only used for storing, not for displaying videos, while the wider resolutions are often available as physical displays. YouTube, for instance, recommends users upload videos in a 16:9 format with 240, 360, 480 (SD), 720, 1080 (HD), 1440, 2160 (4K) or 4320 (8K) lines.<ref name="YouTube">{{cite web|url=https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6375112|publisher=Google|website=YouTube Help|title=Video resolution & aspect ratios| access-date = 2024-05-04}}</ref>

 

'''nHD''' (ninth HD, not "nano HD") is a display resolution of {{resx|640|360}} pixels, which is exactly one-ninth of a Full HD (1080p) frame and one-quarter of an [[#HD (1280×720)|HD]] (720p) frame. Notably, it is neither "nFHD" nor {{resx|426|240}} which would be a about ninth of "HD" resolution. Pixel doubling (vertically and horizontally) nHD frames will form one 720p frame and pixel tripling nHD frames will form one 1080p frame.

 

To avoid storing the eight lines of padded pixels, some people prefer to encode video at {{resx|624|352}}, which only has one stored padded line. When such video streams are either encoded from HD frames or played back on HD displays in full-screen mode (either 720p or 1080p) they are scaled by non-integer scale factors. True nHD frames on the other hand has integer scale factors, for example Nokia 808 PureView with nHD display.

 

:''Note: qHD is quarter HD; QHD is quad HD''

'''qHD''' is a display resolution of {{resx|960|540}} pixels, which is exactly one-quarter of a Full HD (1080p) frame, in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Notably, it is neither "qFHD" nor {{resx|640|360}} which would be quarter of "HD" resolution (720p).

{{main|720p}}

The '''HD''' or '''[[720p]]''' resolution of {{resx|1280|720}} pixels stems from [[high-definition television]] (HDTV), where it originally used 50 or 60 frames per second. With its 16:9 aspect ratio, it is exactly 2 times the width and 1{{sfrac|1|2}} times the height of 4:3 VGA ({{resx|640|480}}), which shares its aspect ratio and 480 line count with [[NTSC]]. HD, therefore, has exactly 3 times as many pixels as VGA, i.e. almost 1 [[megapixel]].

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:

 

* Some '''{{resx|1440|900}}''' resolution displays have also been found labeled as WXGA;<ref name="SPWG"/> however, the "correct" label is [[#1440 × 900 (WXGA+, WSXGA)|WXGA+]].

'''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+]]).

WXGA+ can be considered enhanced versions of [[#1366 × 768 and 1280 × 800 (WXGA)|WXGA]] with more pixels. The aspect ratio is [[16:10 aspect ratio|16:10]] (widescreen). WXGA+ resolution is common in 19-inch widescreen desktop monitors (a very small number of such monitors use [[#WSXGA+ (1680×1050)|WSXGA+]]), and is also optional, although less common, in laptop LCDs, in sizes ranging from 12.1 to 17 inches.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}}

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}}.

 

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.

 

'''UXGA'''<ref name="SPWG"/><ref name="Dell Screen Resolutions List 1 VGA to QUXGA"/><ref name="VESA-CVT"/><ref name="NEMA Specifications"/> (sometimes ''UGA''){{Citation needed|date=May 2023}} is an abbreviation for '''Ultra Extended Graphics Array''' referring to a standard monitor resolution of {{resx|1600|1200}} pixels (totaling 1,920,000 pixels), which is exactly four times the default image resolution of [[#SVGA|SVGA]] ({{resx|800|600}}) (totaling 480,000 pixels). Dell Inc. refers to the same resolution of 1,920,000 pixels as ''UGA''. It is generally considered to be the next step above [[#SXGA (1280×1024)|SXGA]] ({{resx|1280|960}} or {{resx|1280|1024}}), but some resolutions (such as the unnamed {{resx|1366|1024}} and [[#SXGA+ (1400×1050)|SXGA+]] at {{resx|1400|1050}}) fit between the two.

 

There are two different widescreen cousins of UXGA, one called UWXGA with {{resx|1600|768}} (750){{citation needed|reason=Reliable source needed that 1600 x 768 is called "UWXGA"|date=May 2023}} and one called [[#WUXGA (1920×1200)|WUXGA]] with {{resx|1920|1200}} resolution.

 

'''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).

'''QWXGA'''<ref name="Lenovo QWXGA"/> (for '''Quad-WXGA''' or '''Quad Wide Extended Graphics Array''') is a display resolution of {{resx|2048|1152}} pixels with a [[16:9]] aspect ratio. (If you take it as a starting point that [[#WXGA|WXGA]] has a display resolution of {{resx|1366|768}}<ref name="VESA TV"/> or {{resx|1280|800}}<ref name="SPWG"/> a display with a size 4-times of WXGA would have theoretically {{resx|2732|1536}} or {{resx|2560|1600}} pixels, but the first is non-existent and the latter is named [[#WQXGA|WQXGA]]. Conversely, the quarter of QWXGA ({{resx|2048|1152}}) would have {{resx|1024|576}} pixels but this is named WSVGA.)

 

A few QWXGA LCD monitors were available in 2009 with 23- and 27-inch displays, such as the [[Acer Inc.|Acer]] B233HU (23-inch) and B273HU (27-inch), the Dell SP2309W, and the Samsung 2343BWX. As of 2011, most {{resx|2048|1152}} monitors have been discontinued, and as of 2013, no major manufacturer produces monitors with this resolution.{{citation needed|date=April 2023}}

 

'''QXGA''' (for '''Quad-XGA''' or '''Quad Extended Graphics Array''') is a display resolution of {{resx|2048|1536}} pixels (equal four times XGA ({{resx|1024|768}}) with a [[4:3]] aspect ratio as XGA.<ref name="VESA-CVT"/><ref name="NEMA Specifications"/> The name comes from it having four times as many pixels as an XGA display. Examples of LCDs with this resolution are the IBM T210 and the [[Eizo]] G33 and R31 screens, but in CRT monitors this resolution is much more common; some examples include the Sony F520, [[ViewSonic]] G225fB, [[NEC]] FP2141SB or [[Mitsubishi]] DP2070SB, [[Iiyama (company)|Iiyama]] Vision Master Pro 514, and [[Dell]] and [[Hewlett-Packard|HP]] P1230. Of these monitors, none are still in production. A related display size is WQXGA, which is a [[wide screen|widescreen]] version. CRTs offer a way to achieve QXGA cheaply. Models like the Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2045U and IBM ThinkVision C220P retailed for around US$200, and even higher performance ones like the ViewSonic PerfectFlat P220fB remained under $500. At one time, many off-lease P1230s could be found on eBay for under $150. The LCDs with WQXGA or QXGA resolution typically cost four to five times more for the same resolution. [[International Display Technology|IDTech]] manufactured a 15-inch QXGA [[E-IPS|IPS]] panel, used in the IBM ThinkPad R50p. NEC sold laptops with QXGA screens in 2002–05 for the Japanese market.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nec.co.jp/press/ja/0207/0101.html |publisher=NEC |script-title=ja:プレスリリース |date=1 July 2002 |language=ja}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nec.co.jp/press/ja/0501/1901.html |publisher=NEC |script-title=ja:プレスリリース |date=19 January 2005 |language=ja}}</ref> The [[iPad]] (starting from [[iPad (3rd generation)|3rd generation]] and [[iPad Mini 2|Mini 2]]) also has a QXGA display.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17292424 |title=Apple unveils new iPad with high-definition screen |publisher=BBC |date=8 March 2012 |access-date=2012-03-07}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Whitney|first=Lance|title=Apple iPad Mini gets Retina Display|url=https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-ipad-mini-gets-retina-display/|access-date=2021-12-21|website=CNET|language=en}}</ref>
