Most Common Widescreen resolutions

Overall, many resolutions have been labeled as WXGA. These are the most common resolutions given the label (in ascending order by total number of pixels):
* 1280×720
* 1280×768
* 1280×800
* 1360×768
* 1366×768

1280×720 provides perfectly square pixels at an aspect ratio of 16:9, while the additional pixels in 1280×768 and 1280×800 must be ignored to give the 16:9 ratio without vertical stretching of the image. 1360×768 and 1366×768 come very close to 16:9, displaying exactly square pixels if 1360×765 pixels of the display are used.
720p, the HDTV video mode, is a related standard, measuring 1280×720 pixels.
