What is the number of pixels used to display information on screen?

The different monitor resolutions are not exactly standardized, but they are generally manufactured according to a pair of numbers...the number of pixels across and up-and-down. For example, the old VGA stood for 640x480 pixels. W in front of the abbreviation means "wide," and means something closer to a 16:9 aspect ratio, rather than 4:3. Look to the word "resolution" for more information.

∙ 14y agoThe number of pixel's on a screen represents the resolution of the screen. High Definition is usually represented by 1080P. Which means there are 1,080 vertical lines of pixels and 1,920 horizontal lines of pixels for a total of 2,073,600 pixels on a full HD television.

∙ 11y agoThe basic building block of any graphic image is a pixel, a contraction of "Picture Element", arranged in precise rows and columns. The number of rows and columns of pixels is referred to as the "resolution" of the image and is usually expressed by the number of horizontal pixels (rows) multiplied by the number of vertical pixels (columns), for example: 800*600, 1024*768, 1152*864. Note that these resolutions are sized at a 4:3 ratio. The reason for this is that monitors are manufactured with a 4:3 aspect ratio, therefore for a pixel to appear square it must appear at the same 4:3 width to height aspect ratio.
However, the resolution alone defines nothing except the physical size of the image. Each of these resolutions also has an associated "bit depth", which defines the number of colors that can be displayed. The bit depth refers to how many bits of data are associated with each pixel and are available to store a colour value. A 24 bit image, commonly referred to as "true colour", allows for the storage of 24 bits of data per pixel. To clarify the measurement, there are of course 8 bits in every byte. This raises the question of how colors are defined.

How do you know the dimensions of a game from its size in pixels?
Every screen will be different. You can approximate for your particular computer by dividing the height of the screen in pixels (the second number in your display resolution) by the height of the screen in centimeters. The number you get will be "pixels per cm" for your screen.

What is display resolution?
Computer monitors (and all displays really) work by displaying a matrix of tiny dots (called pixels) in a grid which make up the picture on your screen. Display resolution is simply the number of pixels your screen is displaying. Example: 800x600 display resolution means that your display is made up of 800 pixels horizontally by 600 pixels vertically. The higher the resolution, the sharper the image appears, and the smaller details can be rendered. Inversely, higher resolution settings can also make text, images, and webpages appear smaller on your screen, possibly making them more difficult to read.
What do you mean by 320x480 pixels?
320 x 480 pixels typically would mean that the display of the technological device, (probably a television, computer monitor, or other visual device. etc.) would have 320 pixels on the shortest side of the screen and 480 pixels on the adjacent side. Thus the screen would have 153600 total pixels in the screen, but by writing the dimensions, the manufacturer can keep better track of the brands and not be faced with two different dimensions equalling the same number of total pixels.
