About the resolutions monitors
I know a lot of people who don’t know which is the best or the optimum resolution for their monitors (display). Therefore, I made a chart with the most popular sizes (inch) for the FullScreen (4:3, 5:4) monitors and the Wide (16:9, 16:10) monitors. The oldest, but not the forgotten monitor model is the FullScreen. In the opinion of the monitors producer, for each size there’s an optimum resolution.
So, this is what it looks like:
- 15 inch (38cm) -> 1024x768
- 17 inch (43cm) -> 1280x1024 SXGA
- 19 inch (48cm) -> 1280x1024
- 20 inch (51cm) -> 1600x1200
- 21 inch (53cm) -> 1600x1200
For Wide Screens the resolution formats are:
- 17 inch (43cm) -> 1440x900 WXGA
- 19 inch (48cm) -> 1440x900
- 20,1 inch (50cm) -> 1680x1050
- 21 inch (53cm) -> 1680x1050
- 22 inch (56cm) -> 1680x1050
- 24 inch (61cm) -> 1920x1200
- 26 inch (66cm) -> 1920x1200
- 28 inch (71cm) -> 1920x1200
- 30 inch (76cm) -> 2560x1600
Three issues that need to be kept in mind every time we set our resolution are:
- the distance between the monitor screen and us
- the refresh rate that the monitor can support in terms of hardware
- depends on how well we see
PS: Don’t forget to relax your eyes at regular intervals of time. If you can, look out the window or at objects that are far away from you.
