Number of pixels (or dots) per unit of area, measure in number of pixels wide by the number of pixels high that can be displayed on the screen or monitor. More pixels per unit of area produce a higher resolution.

Resolution options: Your basic choices for native, or true resolution are the following:

• SVGA (800 x 600) - This is a very popular resolution today, because of their attractive prices and great images.
• XGA (1,024 x 768) - XGA projectors are generally more expensive, and are an equally popular resolution format to SVGA. They have gotten more popular as XGA resolution computers have become more plentiful.
• SXGA (1,280 x 1,024) - SXGA products are high resolution, and notably more expensive than XGA. These products are targeted for high-end personal computer users and low-end workstation users. They are used primarily for command and control, engineering and CAD/CAM applications where acute resolution of small details is important.
• UXGA (1,600 x 1,200) - UXGA is for very high-resolution workstation applications that are detail or information intensive. These are expensive projectors that support a broad range of computer equipment.
