1024x768

1024x768 is a display resolution consisting of 1,024 horizontal pixels and 768 vertical pixels, totaling 786,432 pixels. It is commonly known as XGA (Extended Graphics Array), a standard introduced in the early 1990s for computer graphics displays, with a 4:3 aspect ratio.

This resolution is typically associated with the 4:3 XGA format; it is often implemented at 60 Hz, though devices have supported higher refresh rates on some configurations. It sits between VGA and SXGA in the historical progression of display technologies.

Historically, 1024x768 was widely used on CRT monitors and early LCDs and became a common choice for office software, operating systems, and presentations. It was also a frequent native or supported resolution for projectors and other display equipment, partly due to its balance of clarity and bandwidth requirements for the era.

In modern contexts, 1024x768 is less common as a primary desktop resolution on new displays, which typically favor higher resolutions and widescreen aspect ratios such as 16:9 or 16:10. However, it remains available as a compatibility option on many graphics cards and operating systems and persists in use for legacy systems, some business-projector setups, and content designed for 4:3 displays, which may appear with letterboxing on widescreen monitors.
