It can be an ambiguous term especially as the displayed resolution is controlled by different factors in <a href="/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube" title="Cathode-ray tube">cathode-ray tube</a> (CRT) displays, <a href="/wiki/Flat-panel_display" title="Flat-panel display">flat-panel displays</a> (including <a href="/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display" title="Liquid-crystal display">liquid-crystal displays</a>) and projection displays using fixed picture-element (pixel) arrays. </p><p>It is usually quoted as <i><span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value=" !">width × height</span></span></i>, with the units in pixels: for example, <i><span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value="786432 !">1024 × 768</span></span></i> means the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 pixels. This example would normally be spoken as "ten twenty-four by seven sixty-eight" or "ten twenty-four by seven six eight". </p><p>One use of the term <i>display resolution</i> applies to fixed-pixel-array displays such as <a href="/wiki/Plasma_display_panel" class="mw-redirect" title="Plasma display panel">plasma display panels</a> (PDP), liquid-crystal displays (LCD), <a href="/wiki/Digital_Light_Processing" class="mw-redirect" title="Digital Light Processing">Digital Light Processing</a> (DLP) projectors, <a href="/wiki/AMOLED" title="AMOLED">OLED</a> displays, and similar technologies, and is simply the physical number of columns and rows of pixels creating the display (e.g. <span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value="2073600 !">1920 × 1080</span></span>). A consequence of having a fixed-grid display is that, for multi-format video inputs, all displays need a "scaling engine" (a digital video processor that includes a memory array) to match the incoming picture format to the display. </p><p>For device displays such as phones, tablets, monitors and televisions, the use of the term <i>display resolution</i> as defined above is a misnomer, though common. The term <i>display resolution</i> is usually used to mean <i>pixel dimensions</i>, the maximum number of pixels in each dimension (e.g. <span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value="2073600 !">1920 × 1080</span></span>), which does not tell anything about the pixel density of the display on which the image is actually formed: resolution properly refers to the <a href="/wiki/Pixel_density" title="Pixel density">pixel density</a>, the number of pixels per unit distance or area, not the <i>total</i> number of pixels. In digital measurement, the display resolution would be given in pixels per inch (PPI). In analog measurement, if the screen is 10 inches high, then the horizontal resolution is measured across a square 10 inches wide.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For television standards, this is typically stated as "lines horizontal resolution, per picture height";<sup id="cite_ref-BE_Robin_2005_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BE_Robin_2005-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> for example, analog <a href="/wiki/NTSC" title="NTSC">NTSC</a> TVs can typically display about 340 lines of "per picture height" horizontal resolution from over-the-air sources, which is equivalent to about 440 total lines of actual picture information from left edge to right edge.<sup id="cite_ref-BE_Robin_2005_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BE_Robin_2005-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Display_resolution&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid #36c;background-color:#fbfbfb;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+link+.ambox{margin-top:-1px}html body.mediawiki .mw-parser-output .ambox.mbox-small-left{margin:4px 1em 4px 0;overflow:hidden;width:238px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em}.mw-parser-output .ambox-speedy{border-left:10px solid #b32424;background-color:#fee7e6}.mw-parser-output .ambox-delete{border-left:10px solid #b32424}.mw-parser-output .ambox-content{border-left:10px solid #f28500}.mw-parser-output .ambox-style{border-left:10px solid #fc3}.mw-parser-output .ambox-move{border-left:10px solid #9932cc}.mw-parser-output .ambox-protection{border-left:10px solid #a2a9b1}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-text{border:none;padding:0.25em 0.5em;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image{border:none;padding:2px 0 2px 0.5em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-imageright{border:none;padding:2px 0.5em 2px 0;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-empty-cell{border:none;padding:0;width:1px}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image-div{width:52px}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .ambox{margin:0 10%}}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .ambox{display:none!important}}</style><table class="box-Unreferenced_section plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Unreferenced" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>does not <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">cite</a> any <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">sources</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/Display_resolution" title="Special:EditPage/Display resolution">improve this section</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a>.

One factor is the display screen's rectangular shape, which is expressed as the ratio of the physical picture width to the physical picture height. This is known as the <a href="/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)" title="Aspect ratio (image)">aspect ratio</a>.

Picture sizes were usually limited to ensure the visibility of all the pixels in the major television standards and the broad range of television sets with varying amounts of over scan. The actual drawable picture area was, therefore, somewhat smaller than the whole screen, and was usually surrounded by a static-colored border (see image below). Also, the interlace scanning was usually omitted in order to provide more stability to the picture, effectively halving the vertical resolution in progress. <span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value="32000 !">160 × 200</span></span>, <span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value="64000 !">320 × 200</span></span> and <span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value="128000 !">640 × 200</span></span> on NTSC were relatively common resolutions in the era (224, 240 or 256 scanlines were also common). In the IBM PC world, these resolutions came to be used by 16-color <a href="/wiki/Enhanced_Graphics_Adapter" title="Enhanced Graphics Adapter">EGA</a> video cards. </p><p>One of the drawbacks of using a classic television is that the computer display resolution is higher than the television could decode. Chroma resolution for NTSC/PAL televisions are bandwidth-limited to a maximum 1.5<span class="nowrap"> </span>MHz, or approximately 160 pixels wide, which led to blurring of the color for 320- or 640-wide signals, and made text difficult to read (see example image below). Many users upgraded to higher-quality televisions with <a href="/wiki/S-Video" title="S-Video">S-Video</a> or <a href="/wiki/Color_Graphics_Adapter" title="Color Graphics Adapter">RGBI</a> inputs that helped eliminate chroma blur and produce more legible displays. The earliest, lowest cost solution to the chroma problem was offered in the <a href="/wiki/Atari_2600" title="Atari 2600">Atari 2600</a> Video Computer System and the <a href="/wiki/Apple_II_Plus" title="Apple II Plus">Apple II+</a>, both of which offered the option to disable the color and view a legacy black-and-white signal. On the Commodore 64, the <a href="/wiki/GEOS_(8-bit_operating_system)" title="GEOS (8-bit operating system)">GEOS</a> mirrored the Mac OS method of using black-and-white to improve readability. </p><p>The <span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value=" !">640 × 400i</span></span> resolution (<span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value=" !">720 × 480i</span></span> with borders disabled) was first introduced by home computers such as the <a href="/wiki/Amiga" title="Amiga">Commodore Amiga</a> and, later, Atari Falcon. These computers used interlace to boost the maximum vertical resolution. These modes were only suited to graphics or gaming, as the flickering interlace made reading text in word processor, database, or spreadsheet software difficult. (Modern game consoles solve this problem by pre-filtering the 480i video to a lower resolution. For example, <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XII" title="Final Fantasy XII">Final Fantasy XII</a> suffers from flicker when the filter is turned off, but stabilizes once filtering is restored. The computers of the 1980s lacked sufficient power to run similar filtering software.) </p><p>The advantage of a <span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value=" !">720 × 480i</span></span> overscanned computer was an easy interface with interlaced TV production, leading to the development of Newtek's <a href="/wiki/Video_Toaster" title="Video Toaster">Video Toaster</a>. This device allowed Amigas to be used for CGI creation in various news departments (example: weather overlays), drama programs such as NBC's <i><a href="/wiki/SeaQuest_DSV" title="SeaQuest DSV">seaQuest</a></i> and The WB's <i><a href="/wiki/Babylon_5" title="Babylon 5">Babylon 5</a></i>. </p><p>In the PC world, the <a href="/wiki/IBM_PS/2" title="IBM PS/2">IBM PS/2</a> VGA (multi-color) on-board graphics chips used a non-interlaced (progressive) 640 × 480 × 16 color resolution that was easier to read and thus more useful for office work.

resolution is set higher than the physical screen resolution (<i>native resolution</i>), some video drivers make the virtual screen scrollable over the physical screen thus realizing a two dimensional <a href="/wiki/Virtual_desktop" title="Virtual desktop">virtual desktop</a> with its viewport. Most LCD manufacturers do make note of the panel's native resolution as working in a non-native resolution on LCDs will result in a poorer image, due to dropping of pixels to make the image fit (when using DVI) or insufficient sampling of the analog signal (when using VGA connector). Few CRT manufacturers will quote the true native resolution, because CRTs are analog in nature and can vary their display from as low as 320 × 200 (emulation of older computers or game consoles) to as high as the internal board will allow, or the image becomes too detailed for the vacuum tube to recreate (i.e., analog blur). Thus, CRTs provide a variability in resolution that fixed resolution LCDs cannot provide. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Display_resolution&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Display_aspect_ratio" title="Display aspect ratio">Display aspect ratio</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Display_size" title="Display size">Display size</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Pixel_density#Calculation_of_monitor_PPI" title="Pixel density">Pixel density of computer displays</a> – PPI <small>(for example, a 20-inch 1680 × 1050 screen has a PPI of 99.06)</small></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Resolution_independence" title="Resolution independence">Resolution independence</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ultrawide_formats" title="Ultrawide formats">Ultrawide formats</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Video_scaler" title="Video scaler">Video scaler</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Widescreen" title="Widescreen">Widescreen</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Display_resolution&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.digitalcitizen.life/what-screen-resolution-or-aspect-ratio-what-do-720p-1080i-1080p-mean">"Screen resolution?
