Screen Resolution
Something most webmasters fail to take into consideration is the various screen resolutions viewers use. Even though latest technology uses a much larger screen, many people still view the web using old monitors with a resolution of 800×600.
A webmaster should take the necessary steps to view what their website will look like in various screen resolutions. They should also consider checking their design using the most common web browsers.
Screen resolutions can be as small as an iPhone, or as large as 1920×1200 (larger then 20inches).
A monitor uses something called an Aspect Ratio. The aspect ratio is the ratio between the horizontal and the vertical dimension. You must divide the horizontal by the vertical dimension. Most monitor aspect ratios are 4:3 (1.3333) and 5:4 (1.25). Wide screen monitors are totally different. You can view the manufacturer’s website to find out yours.
In order to find out what size screen you have you would need to view the screen dimensions. These dimensions are the horizontal measurement followed by the vertical. These are not the screen resolution however.
Screen resolution can be defined as the amount of information shown on a screen. These screen resolutions are set via the video card drivers in your Windows or Mac setup.
