Video standards associated with IBM-PC-descended personal computers are shown in the diagram and table below, alongside those of early Macintosh and other makes for comparison. (From the early 1990s onwards, most manufacturers moved over to PC display standards thanks to widely available and affordable hardware). Comparison of video resolutions.
Used in some desktop and professional monitors. 5:4 (1.25:1) 1280×1024: Common until the early 2000s. 4:3 (1. 3:1) 1024×768, 1600×1200 The standard aspect ratio for computer software, videogames, and analog video until the 2000s, as well as for early 35 mm film. Used on some modern devices such as the iPad. 3:2 (1.5:1)
It is also used in computer monitors, where the term "21:9" can represent aspect ratios of 43:18 (2.3 8:1 or 21.5:9) and 12:5 (2.4:1 or 21.6:9) in addition to 64:27. The wider screen provides advantages in multitasking as well as a more immersive gaming experience, [ 3 ] [ 4 ] and even wider screens with aspect ratios such as 32:9 (allowing for ...
An enlargement of a small section of a 1024x768 (VESA XGA) resolution image; the individual pixels are more visible in its scaled form than its normal resolution.A video scaler is a system that converts video signals from one display resolution to another; typically, scalers are used to convert a signal from a lower resolution (such as 480p standard definition) to a higher resolution (such as ...
The lower cost of 16:9 computer displays was seen as a positive, along with their suitability for gaming and movies, as well as the convenience of having the same aspect ratio in different devices. [ 3 ] [ 9 ] On the other hand, there was criticism towards the lack of vertical screen real estate when compared to 16:10 displays of the same ...
