WSXGA+

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WSXGA+ stands for Widescreen Super eXtended Graphics Array and is a computer display standard. A WSXGA+ display is commonly used on Widescreen 20", 21", and popular 22" LCD monitors from numerous manufacturers, as well as widescreen 15.4" and 17" laptop LCD screens like Thinkpad T61. The resolution is 1680×1050 pixels and has a 16:10 aspect ratio.

WSXGA+ is the widescreen version of SXGA+, but it is not approved by any organization. The next highest resolution (for widescreen) after it is WUXGA, which is 1920x1200 pixels.
