WSXGA Wide XGA+

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WSXGA and WXGA+ are non-standard terms referring to computer display resolutions. Usually, WSXGA refers to a resolution of 1680x1050[1], while WXGA+ refers to a resolution of 1440x900[citation needed], but occasionally manufacturers use the terms to refer to other resolutions (for example, [1]). The Standards Panel Working Group refers to the 1440x900 resolution as WXGA(II)[2].

WSXGA and WXGA+ can be thought of as enhanced versions of WXGA with more pixels, or as widescreen variants of SXGA. The aspect ratios of each are approximately 16:10 (widescreen).
