Schermgeometrie

Schermgeometrie refers to the physical shape and dimensions of a display screen. This encompasses aspects like aspect ratio, resolution, and the overall form factor of the display.

Aspect ratio describes the proportional relationship between the width and height of a screen. Common aspect ratios include 4:3, which was prevalent in older CRT televisions and monitors, and 16:9, which is now standard for high-definition television and most modern displays. Other ratios like 16:10 and 21:9 exist for specific uses, such as widescreen monitors or cinematic viewing experiences.

Resolution indicates the number of pixels that make up the display. It is typically expressed as a pair of numbers, representing the horizontal and vertical pixel counts, such as 1920x1080 (Full HD) or 3840x2160 (4K UHD). Higher resolutions mean more pixels, leading to sharper and more detailed images.

The form factor of a screen can range from traditional flat panels to curved displays, which are designed to offer a more immersive viewing experience by wrapping around the user's field of vision. The size of the screen, measured diagonally in inches, is also a key aspect of its geometry. Together, these elements of schermgeometrie determine how an image is presented and perceived by the viewer.
