Tip 1: Resolution vs Ratio

• Resolution = exact pixels (1920×1080)
• Ratio = proportion (16:9)
• Same ratio, different resolutions possible

Tip 2: Changing Resolution

• You can change resolution in settings
• Ratio stays proportional
• Higher resolution = sharper image

Tip 3: Multiple Monitors

• Each monitor has its own ratio
• Can mix different ratios
• Windows handles scaling

Tip 4: For Gaming

• Gaming-focused monitors often 16:9
• Some competitive players prefer 4:3
• Ultrawide (21:9) becoming more popular

Same resolution on different screen sizes = different look:

• 1920×1080 on 24" monitor = sharper than on 30" monitor
• This is called PPI (pixels per inch)
• But the ratio is still 16:9
