SXGA

It stands for Super Extended Graphics Array.

It refers to a standard monitor resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. It was the next step above the XGA resolution developed by IBM in 1990. The SXGA has a aspect ratio of 5:4.

The main difference is in the screen resolution (that is, the number of pixels on the screen). The more pixels you have, the more detail the monitor can display. Some standard formats and the number of pixels (width x height) are: VGA: 640 x 480

SVGA: 800 x 600

XGA: 1024 x 768

SXGA: 1280 x 1024

SXGA+: 1400 x 1050

UXGA: 1600 x 1200

QXGA: 2048 x 1536 Another minor difference is the "aspect ratio" which is the ratio of width to height of the screen. Most standard formats have an aspect ratio of 4 to 3, except for SXGA which has a ratio of 5 to 4. Wide screen formats are prefixed by a "W" and have an aspect ratio of 16 to 10 or 16 to 9. For example: WSXGA: 1440 x 900

WSXGA+: 1680 x 1050

WUXGA: 1920 x 1200

Super eXtender Graphics Array. It is used to define the density of the height and width of a graphic image and is used to explain the likes of televisions and computer monitor displays.
