Screen size

[hassen1]

When a manufacturer lists a screen size in inches, it measures that distance from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. So if a screen size is listed as 15.4", it's 15.4" from the bottom left corner to the top right corner.

Below is a list of the typical screen sizes you can expect to find and the resolutions they routinely appear with. Note that the first one in each list will be by far the most common one.

Standard Screen Sizes and Typical Resolutions:

14" - XGA
15" - XGA, SXGA+
Widescreen Screen Sizes and Typical Resolutions:

10.6" - WXGA (1280x768)
12.1" - WXGA (1280x800)
13.3" - WXGA (1280x800)
14.1" - WXGA (1280x800)
15.4" - WXGA (1280x800), WXGA+, WSXGA+
17" - WXGA, WXGA+, WSXGA+, WUXGA
14.1" seems to be the sweet spot for travel-ready notebooks, while 15.4" is more for notebooks geared for desktop replacement, and 17" is almost strictly desktop replacement. The lower sizes are for ultraportables and thin and lights.

I am a fan of higher resolutions that are quite good and possible in larger screens .The screen resolution determines the number of pixels available for use. The more the pixels, the larger the working area. A higher resolution makes text and images look smaller on the screen than they do on a lower resolution. The actual size of text and images on the screen is measured by Pixels Per Inch (PPI). It simply indicates how many pixels there are per inch.
