| WXGA | Wide XGA (WXGA) is a set of non standard resolutions derived from the XGA display standard by widening it to a wide screen aspect ratio. WXGA is commonly used for low-end LCD TVs and LCD computer monitors for widescreen presentation. WXGA is generally understood to refer to a resolution of 1366×768, with an aspect ratio of 16:9 hhen referring to televisions and other monitors intended for consumer entertainment use. WXGA is most commonly used to refer to a resolution of 1280×800 pixels with an aspect ratio of 16:10 when referring to laptop displays or monitors intended primarily as computer displays. |
| WSXGA Plus | WSXGA+ stands for Widescreen Super eXtended Graphics Array Plus and is a computer display standard. A WSXGA+ display is commonly used on Widescreen 20", 21", and popular 22" LCD monitors from numerous manufacturers (and a very small number of 19" widescreen monitors), as well as widescreen 15.4" and 17" laptop LCD screens like the Thinkpad T61. The resolution is 1680×1050 pixels (1,764,000 pixels) and has a 16:10 aspect ratio. WSXGA+ is the widescreen version of SXGA+, but it is not approved by any organization. |
| WQUXGA | WQUXGA (Wide Quad Ultra Extended Graphics Array) describes a display standard that can support a resolution up to 3840 x 2400 pixels, assuming a 16:10 aspect ratio. |
| WVGA | Wide VGA or WVGA an abbreviation for Wide Video Graphics Array is any display resolution with the same 480 pixel height as VGA but wider, such as 800×480, 848×480, or 854×480. It is a common resolution among LCD projectors and later portable and hand-held internet-enabled devices. |
| WXGA Plus | WXGA+ is a non-standard computer display resolutions term refering to a resolution of 1440x900. WXGA+ can be thought of as an enhanced version of WXGA with more pixels, or as widescreen variants of SXGA. The aspect ratios of each are 16:10 |
| WUXGA | 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 HDTV content. |
| WQSXGA | WQSXGA (Wide Quad Super eXtended Graphics Array) describes a display standard that can support a resolution up to 3200 x 2048 pixels, assuming a 1.56:1 (25:16) aspect ratio. |
| WHXGA | WHXGA an abbreviation for Wide Hex[adecatuple] Extended Graphics Array is a display standard that can support a resolution of roughly 5120×3200 pixels with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The name comes from the fact that it is a wide version of HXGA, which in turn has sixteen (hexadecatuple) times as many pixels as an XGA display. Only high-end digital cameras capable of rendering images at this resolution. It would require four WQXGA devices to display at this resolution. |
