UXGA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UXGA is an abbreviation for Ultra eXtended Graphics Array referring to a standard monitor resolution of 1600x1200 pixels, which is exactly quadruple the default resolution of SVGA (800x600). Dell Computer refers to the same resolution of 1,920,000 pixels as UGA. It is generally considered to be the next step above SXGA (1280x960 or 1280x1024), but some resolutions (such as the unnamed 1360x1024 and SXGA+ at 1400x1050) fit in between the two.
UXGA has been the native resolution of many fullscreen monitors of 15" or more, including laptop LCDs such as the ones in Thinkpad A21p, A31p, T42p, and T43p; Dell Inspiron 8000/8100/8200; Panasonic Toughbook CF-51; and the original Alienware Area 51m. However, in more recent times, UXGA monitors have been made only in sizes of 20" or more. Some 14" laptop LCDs with UXGA have also existed, but these were very rare.
There are two different widescreen cousins of UXGA, one called UWXGA with 1600x768 and one called WUXGA with 1920x1200 resolution.
