subject: What Is A Wxga Display And Awxga Wiki [print this page] It is easy to become confused when considering monitors. They range in aspect ratio and in resolution. You will even find the price varies drastically as well as the frame rate and the size of screen. With laptop computers, I believe the best choice is the awxga display. Don't become confused because there are a great number of LCD monitors you can choose from.
So, let's look at the two types of monitors available on the market. They are CRT and LCD. These are the two basic terminologies that you will become familiar with. In past years monitors were those huge big bulky things that took up half our desktops. Those are the CRT monitors. There really is an advantage to the CRTs, they produce fluid frame rates.
LCDs are flat panels that are more popular nowadays. These are flat screen panels are used in everything from TVs, computer monitors, and screens for laptops. XGA is short for extended graphics array and WXGA stands for widescreen extended graphics array. Awxga display is very common in notebook computers. These displays have a good resolution and have an aspect ratio of 16x9. If you're not familiar with aspect ratio, it is the image in ratio of its width to height. It's a standard ratio for most LCDs so you don't need to concern yourself too much about it.
WXGA means you will have a wider viewing angle. A WXGA panel has a resolution of 1366x768 compared to most LCD panels which are 1280x720 resolution. Today most movies are made for the widescreen resolutions so you probably would not be satisfied with a regular LCD panel, in fact you will notice the sides will seem cut off. AWAGA display will allow you to see the whole screen which will allow you to get more enjoyment out of todays Blu-ray movies and DVDs.
The wide screen also allows you to better organize your desktop and give you the extra space to work comfortably if you're using your computer for businesses purposes. In addition, these displays consume less power than traditional LCD monitors. The only thing bad about that is that other displays have richer color depths and possibilities.
While shopping for my latest laptop I gave great thought to upgrading to a WXGA over the regular LCD screen. I don't find the WXGA to be the best choice to game with. That is because the WXGA monitors are not created for the colors and rendering that games often need. I considered my options by looking at the comparison charts that awxga wiki has. These charts compare number of colors, pixels and screen sizes among the various resolutions. I did choose the WXGA screen though, because even though it cost more, it fit my needs more completely because I use my laptop extensively for business.
Ultimately you should choose the monitor you purchase based on what you will be using it for. I highly suggest the WXGA, WXGA or the WUXGA if it is offered on your laptop. Again, you can get more information on wxga displays by visiting awxga wiki. Go there to compare them to other displays.
