Resolutions

Auto Date Sunday, May 25th, 2008

LCD monitors can only display a single resolution, which is called a native resolution. The native resolution is the physical number of the vertical and horizontal pixels that the LCD matrix display is composed of. When an LCD computer display is set at a resolution lower than the native resolution, the monitor will use only a visible area or it will need to do extrapolation. Extrapolation is when multiple pixels are blended together to come out with a similar image to what would be displayed if the monitor were to were to show it at the given resolution. However, this can result in fuzzy image quality. Some common native resolutions are 1024×768 for 14-15″ monitors and 1920×1200 for 24″ widescreen monitors.
