Monitor resolution explained

Resolution refers to the number of pixels a screen can show. The higher the number of pixels a screen can show, the sharper the image quality is. Baseline full HD features 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (1080p) and there are sharper standards, QHD (2,560 x 1,440 pixels), and 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) and even a whopping 5K (5,120 x 2,880 pixels).

How important is pixel density?

The pixel density a monitor holds is another factor which is important to consider when it comes to getting the best picture quality for you. This is because, larger screens require a higher resolution to maintain the same pixel density as a smaller screen. Also monitors that have a higher resolution are able deliver crisper details and provide more screen space for you to utilise and enjoy.

What is a widescreen monitor?

Most monitors feature a 16:9 aspect ratio which is suitable for content viewing and productivity work. However, we also offer monitors with a wider display experience. These monitors feature aspect ratios including 21:9 or even 32:9, allowing the wider display experience which is perfect for multitasking, improved visuals and enhancing your gaming experience.
