It is used for multiple anamorphic formats and DCI 1024:429 (21. 482517:9), but also for ultrawide computer monitors, including 43:18 (21 1 ⁄ 2:9) for resolutions based on 720 lines and 12:5 (21 3 ⁄ 5:9) for ultrawide variants of resolutions based either on 960 pixels width or 900 lines height.
There are other, non-standard display resolutions with 1080 lines whose aspect ratios fall between the usual 16∶9 and the ultra-wide 64∶27, e.g. 18∶9, 18.5∶9, 19∶9 and 19.5∶9. They are mostly used in smartphones or phablets and do not have established names, but may be subsumed under the umbrella term ultra-wide (full) HD.
Text mode is a computer display mode in which content is internally represented on a computer screen in terms of characters rather than individual pixels.Typically, the screen consists of a uniform rectangular grid of character cells, each of which contains one of the characters of a character set; at the same time, contrasted to graphics mode or other kinds of computer graphics modes.

Each screen character is represented by two bytes aligned as a 16-bit word accessible by the CPU in a single operation. The lower (or character) byte is the actual code point for the current character set, and the higher (or attribute) byte is a bit field used to select various video attributes such as color, blinking, character set, and so forth.

As of 2016, most computer monitors use widescreen displays with an aspect ratio of 16:9, [5] although some portable PCs use narrower aspect ratios like 3:2 and 16:10 [6] while some high-end desktop monitors have adopted ultrawide displays. [7] The following table summarises the different aspect ratios that have been used in computer displays:
Widescreen images are displayed within a set of aspect ratios (relationship of image width to height) used in film, television and computer screens. In film, a widescreen film is any film image with a width-to-height aspect ratio greater than 4:3 (1.33:1). For TV, the original screen ratio for broadcasts was in 4:3 (1.33:1).
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 ...
