SXGA+

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SXGA+ stands for Super eXtended Graphics Array and is a computer display standard. An SXGA+ display is commonly used on 14 inch or 15 inch laptop LCD screens with a resolution of 1400 × 1050 pixels. SXGA+ is also the maximum resolution native to many high-end video projectors. An SXGA+ display is used on a few 12 inch laptop screens such as the ThinkPad X60 & X61 (both only as Tablet) and the Toshiba Portégé M200 and M400, but these are much less common. Sony also used SXGA+ in their Z1 series, but no longer produce them as wide screen has become more predominant.

There is a widescreen version of SXGA+ called WSXGA+ with a resolution of 1680 × 1050. This is the native resolution of most 20-22 inch wide-aspect LCD monitors, and is also available on many laptops.

It is the next common step in resolution after SXGA, although it is not approved by any organization. The most common resolution immediately above is called UXGA (sometimes also known as UGA) which has 1600 × 1200 pixels.
