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 : The horizontal to vertical ratio of each, rectangular, physical pixel
; Storage aspect ratio : The horizontal to vertical ratio of solely the number of pixels in each direction.
; Display aspect ratio : The combination of both the pixel aspect ratio and storage aspect ratio giving the aspect ratio as experienced by the viewer.

Television

For television, the display aspect ratio is shown, not the storage aspect ratio ; analog television does not have well-defined pixels, while several digital television standards have non-square pixels.

Many of these resolutions are also used for video files that are not broadcast. These may also use other aspect ratios by cropping otherwise black bars at the top and bottom which result from cinema aspect ratios greater than, such as 1.85 or 2.35 through 2.40, while the standard horizontal resolution, e.g. 1920 pixels, is usually kept. The vertical resolution is usually a multiple of 8 or 16 pixels due to most video codecs processing pizels on such sized blocks. A widescreen FHD video can be for a ratio or for roughly, for instance.
