Learn About the Industrial LCD Display Screen Size and Aspect Ratio
The actual size of the space where images and videos are projected is called the screen display size. This is often referred to as the viewable image size. The aspect ratio refers to the proportion of width to height, while resolution refers to the number of pixels in each direction.
Read on to learn more about how display and screen size affects performance.
How Does Display Screen Size & Aspect Ratio Affect Performance?
Different businesses have unique computer hardware requirements. The two most important factors for optimal performance are display screen size and aspect ratio.
When selecting a display screen size, there are some things to know, considering the software that will be used on it and the type of projects that could be done. This is to ensure you can efficiently run programs that require a larger display screen and a higher resolution or projects that require a particular ratio for the best performance.
What Is the Difference Between Screen Size and Resolution?
The term “screen size” describes the display’s actual size. It is calculated from corner to corner across the screen, that is, top left to bottom right or bottom left to top right.
However, the screen’s number of pixels (individual dots) is from left to right as a measure of resolution. A typical 1920×1080 (1080p) screen resolution has 1920 pixels running the length of the screen from left to right and 1080 pixels running the screen’s height.

What Is LCD Display Aspect Ratio?
The LCD Display Aspect ratio is 16:9.
1. Widescreen Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio of the widescreen monitor is 16:9. This makes it perfect for high-definition video signal display and standard definition.
2. Standard Aspect Ratio
Standard aspect monitor refers to computer displays with the old-style 4:3 aspect ratio that was more common in TVs. However, the term “standard aspect ratio” is misleading because the wider 16:9 aspect ratio is now the new standard for PC monitors.
Difference between 4:3 and 16.9 LCD Monitor Aspect Ratio
The difference between the two is that the 16:9 ratio has a larger display and allows for more information horizontally.
1. 4:3 Aspect Ratio
The 4:3 aspect ratio has a frame of 33% wider than the tall.
2. 16:9 Aspect Ratio
The 16:9 aspect ratio, on the other hand, enables a larger display, and it is 78% wider than its height.
What Are the Other Standard LCD Display Aspect Ratios?
Though the most common aspect ratios today are 16:9 and 4:3, other aspect ratios exist. There are also 21:9 and 32:9 aspect ratios.
