320x256

320x256 is a standard resolution used in digital graphics and computing. It is a 2:1 aspect ratio, characterized by a widescreen shape.

In terms of graphics, 320x256 resolution is often used in low-resolution graphics settings, particularly in older games and software. This resolution is considered to be a common and acceptable remedy for systems with limited graphics capabilities. Games and applications taking advantage of this resolution may appear with reduced graphics and often feature pixel art visual presentation. In computing, low-resolution displays like the CGA or EGA often used this resolution for display output.

The choice of 320x256 over other resolutions may be influenced by the physical display characteristics and available software. It may not meet the modern standards of high-resolution displays. Thus, its prevalence has degraded.

320x256 resolution has certain technical specifications:

- pixels sided, with a 4:3 or 2:1 (again respective) aspect ratio

- monochrome or color outputs possible

- scan rates ranging from 25 to 50 Hz

Its earlier use is still encountered in modern times, either by filers or in some media products including low resolution animations etc.
