UXGA: Information from Answers.com

UXGA is an abbreviation for Ultra eXtended Graphics Array referring to a standard monitor resolution of 1600 × 1200 pixels, which is exactly quadruple the default resolution of SVGA (800 × 600). Dell Computer refers to the same resolution of 1,920,000 pixels as UGA. It is generally considered to be the next step above SXGA (1280 × 960 or 1280 × 1024), but some resolutions (such as SXGA+ 1400 × 1050) fit in between the two.

UXGA is the native resolution of many 20" and 21" desktop LCD monitors and 21" and 22" CRT displays, and also of some 15" 4:3 laptop LCDs (such as the ones in Thinkpad A21p, A31p, T42p, and T43p; Dell Inspiron 8000/8100/8200; and Panasonic Toughbook CF-51). Several 14" laptop LCDs with UXGA also exist, but these are very rare.

There are two different widescreen versions of UXGA called UWXGA with 1600x768 as well as WUXGA with 1920x1200 resolution.
