For the table below, storage aspect ratio (SAR) is based solely on pixel count. It does not take into account pixel aspect ratio (pixels may be non-square) and thus the display aspect ratio (the aspect ratio of the actual image that is displayed) may differ.[1]

Notes
- ^ LCD panels' resolutions are often quoted in terms of raw subpixels, misnamed "pixels" in manufacturer's specifications. Each real pixel includes one subpixel for each of three colors, so calling subpixels "pixels" inflates the claimed resolution by a factor of three. This bit of marketing obfuscation is calculated as horizontal resolution × vertical resolution × 3. For example: 640 × 480 VGA is 921600 subpixels, or 307200 pixels, 800 × 600 SVGA is 1440000 subpixels, or 480000 pixels, and 1024 × 768 XGA is 2359296 subpixels, but only 786432 full-color pixels.
