This chart shows the most common display resolutions, with the color of each resolution type indicating the display ratio (e.g., red indicates a 4:3 ratio). This article lists computer monitor , television, digital film, and other graphics display resolutions that are in common use.
The term display resolution is usually used to mean pixel dimensions, the maximum number of pixels in each dimension (e.g. 1920 × 1080), which does not tell anything about the pixel density of the display on which the image is actually formed: resolution properly refers to the pixel density, the number of pixels per unit distance or area, not ...
Display size. On 2D displays, such as computer monitors and TVs, display size or viewable image size (VIS) refers to the physical size of the area where pictures and videos are displayed. The size of a screen is usually described by the length of its diagonal, which is the distance between opposite corners, typically measured in inches.
Common aspect ratios for displays, past and present, include 5:4, 4:3, 16:10, and 16:9. To distinguish: The display aspect ratio (DAR) is calculated from the physical width and height of a display, measured each in inch or cm (Display size). The pixel aspect ratio (PAR) is calculated from the width and height of one pixel.
Display resolution standards. A chart showing the number of pixels in different display resolutions. A display resolution standard is a commonly used width and height dimension (display resolution) of an electronic visual display device, measured in pixels. This information is used for electronic devices such as a computer monitor.
Aspect ratio (image) The aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of its width to its height. It is expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, width:height. Common aspect ratios are 1.85:1 and 2.40:1 in cinematography, 4:3 and 16:9 in television, and 3:2 in still photography.
Scanners and cameras. "PPI" or "pixel density" may also describe image scanner resolution. In this context, PPI is synonymous with samples per inch. In digital photography, pixel density is the number of pixels divided by the area of the sensor. A typical DSLR, circa 2013, has 1–6.2 MP/cm 2; a typical compact has 20–70 MP/cm 2.
4:3 (or 16:5 and 16:10 with square pixels) 2–4 bpp for ST, 2–15 bpp on the Falcon. CGA: Color Graphics Adapter Introduced in 1981 by IBM, as the first colour display standard for the IBM PC.
