Resolution Examples
RESOLUTION: The maximum number of points that can be displayed without overlap on a
CRT is referred to as the resolution.
• It is usually given as the number of horizontal points versus the number of vertical points
these are called pixels (picture elements),
• e.g. a monitor might have a resolution of 1024 X 768 pixels.
ASPECT RATIO: The ratio of vertical points to the horizontal points necessary to produce
equal length lines in both directions on the screen is called the aspect ratio.
• Example: If monitor is of size 8*6 inch and having resolution of 640 X 480 pixels, then
• Number of pixels in Horizontal = 640/8 =80 pixels/inch
• Number of pixels in Vertical = 480/6 =80 pixels/inch
• So, the no. of pixels (in sq unit area) are same in Hz and Vr.
