List Of Common Resolutions
This article lists computer monitor screen resolutions that are defined by standards or in common use. Most of them use certain preferred numbers. Computer graphics ; Pixel aspect ratio (PAR): The horizontal to vertical ratio of each pixel. ; Storage aspect ratio (SAR): The horizontal to vertical ratio of solely the number of pixels in each direction.LCD panels' resolutions are often quoted in terms of raw subpixels, misnamed "pixels" in manufacturer's specifications. Each real pixel includes one subpixel for each of three colors, so calling subpixels "pixels" inflates the claimed resolution by a factor of three. This bit of marketing obfuscation is calculated as horizontal resolution × vertical resolution × 3. For example: 640 × 480 VGA is subpixels, or pixels, 800 × 600 SVGA is subpixels, or pixels, and 1024 × 768 XGA is subpixels, but only full-color pixels. ; Display aspect ratio (DAR): The combination (which occurs by multipli ...
