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. Most of them use certain preferred numbers.
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. The storage aspect ratio (SAR) is calculated from the numbers of pixels in width and height stated in the display resolution.
The first commercial displays capable of this resolution include an 82-inch LCD TV revealed by Samsung in early 2008, [44] the Sony SRM-L560, a 56-inch LCD reference monitor announced in October 2009, [45] an 84-inch display demonstrated by LG in mid-2010, [46] and a 27.84-inch 158 PPI 4K IPS monitor for medical purposes launched by Innolux in ...
The second-generation Macintosh, launched in 1987, came with colour (and greyscale) capability as standard, at two levels, depending on monitor size—512×384 (1/4 of the later XGA standard) on a 12" (4:3) colour or greyscale (monochrome) monitor; 640×480 with a larger (13" or 14") high-resolution monitor (superficially similar to VGA, but at ...
1080p progressive scan HDTV, which uses a 16:9 ratio. Some commentators also use display resolution to indicate a range of input formats that the display's input electronics will accept and often include formats greater than the screen's native grid size even though they have to be down-scaled to match the screen's parameters (e.g. accepting a 1920 × 1080 input on a display with a native 1366 ...
In 2018, Sony installed a 16K screen into the front of a cosmetics store in Yokohama, south of Tokyo. The 63 ft (19 m) widescreen display is believed to be the largest 16K screen yet. Sony has plans to make the product available, in custom sizes, for wealthy consumers. They are also currently working on developing a 32K display. [4] [5]
The apparent PPI of a monitor depends upon the screen resolution (that is, the number of pixels) and the size of the screen in use; a monitor in 800×600 mode has a lower PPI than does the same monitor in a 1024×768 or 1280×960 mode. The dot pitch of a computer display determines the absolute limit of possible pixel density.
Throughout the 1990s, the primary use of LCD technology as computer monitors was in laptops where the lower power consumption, lighter weight, and smaller physical size of LCDs justified the higher price versus a CRT. Commonly, the same laptop would be offered with an assortment of display options at increasing price points: (active or passive ...
