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.

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>

 

 

 

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.

 

 

:''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}}

 

 

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".

 

{{main|1080p}}

 

'''FHD''' ('''Full HD''') is the resolution {{resx|1920|1080}} used by the [[1080p]] and [[1080i]] HDTV video formats. It has a 16:9 aspect ratio and 2,073,600 total pixels, i.e. very close to 2 megapixels, and is exactly 50% larger than 720p HD ({{resx|1280|720}}) in each dimension for a total of 2.25 times as many pixels. When using [[Interlaced video|interlacing]], the uncompressed bandwidth requirements are similar to those of 720p at the same [[field rate]] (a 12.5% increase, as one field of 1080i video is 1,036,800 pixels, and one frame of 720p video is 921,600 pixels). Although the number of pixels is the same for 1080p and 1080i, the effective resolution is somewhat lower for the interlaced format, as it is necessary to use some vertical [[low-pass filtering]] to reduce temporal artifacts such as [[interline twitter]].

 

{{main|2K resolution}}

 

 

 

The resolution {{resx|2560|1080}} is equivalent to Full HD ({{resx|1920|1080}}) extended in width by 33%, with an aspect ratio of [[21:9 aspect ratio|64:27]] (2.{{overline|370}}, or 21.{{overline|3}}:9). Monitors at this resolution usually contain built-in firmware to [[Split screen (computer graphics)|divide the screen]] into two {{resx|1280|1080}} screens.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.businessinsider.sg/lg-ultrawide-monitor-review-2016-12 |title = The best screen for multitasking comes with a hefty price tag |last=Tweedle |first=Steven |date=3 December 2016 |publisher=Business Insider Singapore |access-date=2018-10-01 }}</ref>

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. This enables it to fit within a [[framebuffer]] of 512{{nbsp}}[[Kilobyte|KB]] (512 × 2{{sup|10}} bytes), and the common multiple of 32 pixels constraint is related to [[Data structure alignment|alignment]]. For these reasons, this resolution was available on the [[Macintosh LC III]] and other systems.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}}

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}}

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).

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}}

'''WQXGA''' ('''Wide Quad Extended Graphics Array''') is a display resolution of {{resx|2560|1600}} pixels with a 16:10 aspect ratio.<ref name="Dell WQXGA">[https://www.dell.com/en-ie/shop/monitors-flat-panel-widescreen/ar/7818/2560x1600-wqxga?appliedRefinements=2584 2560x1600 (WQXGA) - Flat Screen & Widescreen Monitors] (WQXGA explained) on dell.com</ref> The name implies a "wide QXGA" (QXGA {{resx|2048|1536}}) but it's not. 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}}
