1366x768

1366x768 is a display resolution consisting of 1366 horizontal pixels and 768 vertical pixels. The aspect ratio is approximately 16:9, giving a total of about 1,049,088 pixels. The resolution is commonly marketed as WXGA HD or HD+, and has been widely used in budget laptops, small desktop monitors, and entry-level televisions and projectors.

Historically, 1366x768 emerged in the early 2010s as a cost-effective alternative to the higher-resolution 1280x720 and 1920x1080 panels. Its availability enabled manufacturers to produce affordable, energy-efficient panels for 11- to 17-inch laptops and compact monitors. While many newer devices have shifted to 1080p or higher resolutions, 1366x768 remains common in budget and older equipment, and is still found in some 19- to 23-inch monitors and various smaller displays.

Technical and practical implications include its 16:9 form factor, which aligns with standard video content but yields lower vertical resolution than 1080p. This can affect productivity for text-heavy tasks and multi-document work, as UI elements may appear smaller without scaling. On the other hand, the lower pixel count typically requires less GPU power and can extend battery life on portable devices. Most systems support 1366x768, and many graphics drivers offer scaling options; however, scaling artifacts can occur on high-DPI displays.

In contemporary contexts, 1366x768 is increasingly viewed as an entry-level or legacy resolution, often chosen for cost containment, energy efficiency, or compatibility with older content.
