WUXGA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WUXGA stands for Widescreen Ultra eXtended Graphics Array and is a display resolution of 1920×1200 pixels (2,304,000 pixels) with a 16:10 screen aspect ratio.
It is a wide version of UXGA, and is appropriate for viewing North American HDTV content (ATSC), which uses a 1920×1080 image at a 16:9 ratio (the image is slightly letterboxed, but maintains an appropriate aspect ratio).
The 16:10 aspect ratio (as opposed to the 16:9 used in widescreen televisions) was chosen because this aspect ratio is appropriate for displaying two full pages of text side by side [1]. It also allows viewing of 16:9 video on a computer with player controls visible. The 16:10 screen (and display device profile) also comes very close to what is considered an aesthetically pleasing, golden rectangle.
WUXGA resolution is equivalent to 2.3 megapixels. A WUXGA image has an uncompressed size of around 6.6 MiB.
This resolution is currently available in high-end LCD televisions and computer monitors, the latter of which are typically in the size range of approximately 23"-28".
The next lowest resolution (for widescreen) before it is WSXGA+, which is 1680x1050 pixels (1,764,000 pixels, or 30.61% fewer than the WUXGA); the next highest resolution widescreen is WQXGA, which has 2560x1600 pixels (4,096,000 pixels, or 77.78% more than the WUXGA).
