What is Screen Resolution?
Screen resolution is the number of pixels (dots) your screen can display, expressed as width × height (e.g., 1920×1080). The higher the resolution, the more detailed and sharp the displayed content. Common resolutions: HD (1280×720), Full HD (1920×1080), 2K (2560×1440), 4K (3840×2160).
What is Pixel Ratio?
