1280×800

1280x800 is a common display resolution. It represents a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:10, meaning the width of the screen is 16 units for every 10 units of height. This resolution offers a higher pixel count than standard definition resolutions like 1024x768, providing more screen real estate and sharper images.

This resolution gained popularity with the introduction of widescreen laptop displays in the early to mid-2000s. It was often seen as a good compromise between the older 4:3 aspect ratio and the wider 16:9 format that would later become dominant for high-definition content. While 1280x800 was once a standard for many laptops, it has largely been superseded by higher resolutions such as 1920x1080 (Full HD) and 2560x1440 (QHD) in newer devices. However, it can still be found on some budget laptops, older monitors, and as a selectable resolution for certain devices and applications. The 16:10 aspect ratio is favored by some users for productivity tasks as it offers slightly more vertical space compared to the 16:9 format, which is more common for video playback.
