This is a list of image resolutions sorted by the horizontal pixel dimension in ascending numerical order.
It is important to realize that the use of the word "resolution" in this context is misleading and inaccurate. The sizes given are pixel dimensions, and do not imply anything about the resolution of the display, which would be expressed in PPI (pixels per inch) or PPCM (pixels per centimeter). This explains why larger pixel dimensions do not necessarily imply that the final image will be physically larger; indeed, fitting more pixels onto the same display will produce an image the same physical size but with a higher image density and hence text and images will appear smaller.
Tables
Computer graphics
For the table below, DAR is the display aspect ratio, based solely on pixel count. It does not take into account pixel aspect ratio.[1]

Notes
- ^ LCD panels’ resolutions are often quoted in terms of raw subpixels misnamed “pixels” in manufacturer’s specifications. Each real pixel includes one subpixel for each of three colors, so calling subpixels “pixels” inflates the claimed resolution by a factor of three. This bit of disingenuous obfuscation is calculated as horizontal resolution × vertical resolution × 3. For example: 640×480 VGA is 921600 subpixels, or 307200 pixels, 800×600 SVGA is 1440000 subpixels, or 480000 pixels, and 1024×768 XGA is 2359296 subpixels, but only 786432 full-color pixels.
