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 was one series of WQUXGA displays in the consumer marketplace, but it was discontinued in Q2 of 2005. That series of displays had prices which were well above even the higher end displays used by graphic professionals. In addition, the lower refresh rates, 41 Hz and 48 Hz, made them less attractive for many applications.

[edit] HXGA
HXGA an abbreviation for Hex[adecatuple] Extended Graphics 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.
[edit] WHXGA
WHXGA an abbreviation for Wide Hex[adecatuple] Extended Graphics 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 2007, there are only high-end digital cameras capable of rendering images at this resolution. It would require four WQXGA devices 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.
[edit] HSXGA
HSXGA, an abbreviation for Hex[adecatuple] Super Extended Graphics Array, is a display standard that can support a resolution of roughly 5120×4096 pixels with a 5:4 aspect ratio. The name comes from the fact that it has sixteen (hexadecatuple) times as many pixels as an SXGA display.
As of January 2007 there is no display with a maximum resolution 5120×4096, But if this display were to exist, it would have a maximum resolution ten (10) times that of HD (Full HD, True HD, 1080p).
[edit] WHSXGA
WHSXGA, an abbreviation for Wide Hex[adecatuple] Super Extended Graphics Array, is a display standard that can support a resolution up to 6400 x 4096 pixels, assuming a 1.56:1 aspect ratio. The name comes from the fact that it has sixteen (hexadecatuple) times as many pixels as an WSXGA display.
[edit] HUXGA
HUXGA, an abbreviation for Hex[adecatuple] Ultra Extended Graphics Array, is a display standard that can support a resolution of roughly 6400×4800 pixels with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The name comes from the fact that it has sixteen (hexadecatuple) times as many pixels as an UXGA display.
[edit] WHUXGA
WHUXGA an abbreviation for Wide Hex[adecatuple] Ultra Extended Graphics Array, is a display standard that can support a resolution up to 7680 × 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 × 20072 pixels image created by a Betterlight Super 10K-2. A WHUXGA image consists of 36,864,000 pixels (approximately 37 megapixels). A monitor of 7680 × 4320 would also qualify as a WHUXGA display. UHDV video requires a display of similar resolution (7680 × 4320) for properly displaying UHDV content, which is 16 times the resolution (four times the horizontal resolution and four times the vertical resolution) of 1080p "Full HD" at 1920 × 1080 pixels.
