• The resolution of a monitor refers to the number of pixels it can display.

• It is universally understood that screen resolution is 72 ppi (pixels/inch). Yes, some screens can be 96 ppi, but you can ignore that because Images on a screen are shown based on the number of pixels. See the visual examples above.

• A higher resolution (more dots in an inch) means a sharper image.

• A lower resolution shows a pixelated and generally blurred effect.

• This is provided so you can visualize how large or small images look on various monitor resolutions.
