number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed
Display resolution is the number of distinct pixels (tiny dots of color) that a screen can show across its width and height. It matters because higher resolution means sharper, more detailed images, while lower resolution can make text and pictures appear blurry or pixelated.

The display resolution or display modes of a digital television, computer monitor, or other display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It can be an ambiguous term especially as the displayed resolution is controlled by different factors in cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays, flat-panel displays (including liquid-crystal displays) and projection displays using fixed picture-element (pixel) arrays.
