In recent years the 16:9 aspect ratio has become more common in notebook displays, and {{resx|1366|768}} ([[720p|HD]]) has become popular for most low-cost notebooks, while {{resx|1920|1080}} ([[FHD]]) and higher resolutions are available for more premium notebooks.

When a computer display resolution is set higher than the physical screen resolution (''native resolution''), some video drivers make the virtual screen scrollable over the physical screen thus realizing a two dimensional [[virtual desktop]] with its viewport. Most LCD manufacturers do make note of the panel's native resolution as working in a non-native resolution on LCDs will result in a poorer image, due to dropping of pixels to make the image fit (when using DVI) or insufficient sampling of the analog signal (when using VGA connector). Few CRT manufacturers will quote the true native resolution, because CRTs are analog in nature and can vary their display from as low as 320 × 200 (emulation of older computers or game consoles) to as high as the internal board will allow, or the image becomes too detailed for the vacuum tube to recreate (i.e., analog blur). Thus, CRTs provide a variability in resolution that fixed resolution LCDs cannot provide.
