What is screen resolution?

Screen resolution describes how many pixels your display can show horizontally and vertically. A resolution of 1920×1080 means 1920 pixels across and 1080 pixels tall, for a total of about 2 million pixels.

Common resolutions include HD (1280×720), Full HD (1920×1080), 2K (2560×1440), and 4K (3840×2160). Higher resolution means sharper, more detailed images.

Screen resolution vs viewport

Your screen resolution is the physical display size. Your viewport is the area your browser window uses, which is smaller once you account for browser chrome (toolbars, address bar). Web developers typically design for the viewport, not the full screen resolution.
