📊 Resolution Comparison
Checking Your Monitor Resolution
Your monitor resolution determines the quality of visual content you can view and the amount of workspace available. This tool instantly detects your monitor's native resolution and compares it to common standards.
Understanding your monitor resolution helps when choosing media quality, selecting wallpapers, and configuring display settings for optimal clarity.
Standard Resolution Names
HD (720p) is 1280×720 pixels. Full HD (1080p) is 1920×1080. QHD (1440p) is 2560×1440. 4K UHD is 3840×2160. Each step roughly doubles the pixel count of the previous standard.
Aspect Ratio Explained
Aspect ratio describes the proportional relationship between width and height. 16:9 is the most common for modern monitors. Ultrawide monitors use 21:9. Traditional monitors used 4:3. Your content should match your aspect ratio for optimal viewing.
Monitor Types by Resolution
Budget monitors typically offer Full HD. Mid-range monitors feature QHD. Premium monitors provide 4K or higher. Gaming monitors may prioritize refresh rate over resolution for smoother motion.
Choosing the Right Resolution
Consider screen size when choosing resolution. 24" monitors work well at 1080p. 27" monitors benefit from 1440p. 32" and larger screens look best at 4K. Higher resolution on smaller screens makes UI elements very small.
