skärmformat

Skärmformat refers to the dimensions of a display screen, typically expressed as width and height. These dimensions determine the amount of content that can be displayed simultaneously and influence the overall user experience. Screen formats are often described using aspect ratios, which represent the proportional relationship between the width and height. Common aspect ratios include 4:3, which was prevalent in older CRT monitors and televisions, and 16:9, which is now the standard for most modern displays, including televisions, computer monitors, and smartphones.

The resolution of a screen, which indicates the number of pixels displayed horizontally and vertically, is closely related to screen format. A higher resolution on a given screen format allows for sharper images and more detailed content. For example, a 16:9 screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 (Full HD) will display more pixels than a 4:3 screen of the same physical size. The choice of screen format can impact how content is displayed, with some content being cropped or letterboxed if its original aspect ratio does not match the screen's. Advancements in display technology have led to a variety of screen formats catering to different needs, from ultra-wide monitors for productivity to compact screens for mobile devices.
