The
HXGA display standard and its derivatives are a relatively new (as of
2005) standard in display technology. Their high pixel counts and heavy display hardware requirements mean that there is currently no
monitor that singly displays at these levels. These terms are currently relegated to the highest-end scientific and professional
digital camera hardware. An example can be found in [
HiPERwall] of a case where multiple
WQXGA displays must be stacked to exceed HXGA or WHXGA resolution. There are two
WQUXGA displays in the consumer marketplace, but with prices that are higher than most displays used by graphic profesionals and low refresh rates, it is unlikely that WQUXGA or next-generation, HXGA, displays will be commonplace anytime soon.

Array is a
display standard that can support a
resolution of 4096×3072
pixels (or 3200 pixels) with a
4:3 aspect ratio. The name comes from the fact that it has sixteen (
hexadecatuple) times as many pixels as an
XGA display. As of
2005, this is the highest experimental and non-widescreen resolution, and there are no devices that can render images at such high resolution, but several digital cameras can record such images. A related display size is WHXGA, which is a wide screen version.

Array is a
display standard that can support a
resolution of roughly 5120×3200
pixels with a
16:10 aspect ratio. The name comes from the fact that it is a wide version of
HXGA, which in turn has sixteen (
hexadecatuple) times as many pixels as an
XGA display. As of
2005, there are no devices that can render images at such high resolution. It would require four 30"
Apple Cinema Displays to display at this resolution. A resolution of 5120×3072 should, in theory, also qualify as WHXGA, if such a display were to be made.

display standard that can support a

SXGA display.

1.56:1 aspect ratio. The name comes from the fact that it has sixteen (
hexadecatuple) times as many pixels as an
WSXGA display.

UXGA display.

Array, is a
display standard that can support a
resolution up to 7680 x 4800
pixels, assuming a
16:10 aspect ratio. The name comes from the fact that it has sixteen (
hexadecatuple) times as many pixels as an
WUXGA display. As of 2005, one would need 12 such displays to render certain single-shot digital pictures, for instance a 14836 x 20072 pixels image created by a Betterlight Super 10K-2.
