Possible 2:1 (18:9) aspect ratio resolutions

The 2:1 aspect ratio is used by Univisium, LG, and (possibly) Samsung. I'm unsure of why it was chosen, but possibly to make "the next step in tech" gimmicks.

Here are the list of possible common 2:1 resolutions starting from 144p:


  • 288:144 (144p)
  • 480x240 (240p)
  • 720x360 (360p)
  • 960x480 (480p)
  • 1440x720 (720p HD)
  • 1536x768 (768p)
  • 1800x900 (900p)
  • 2100x1050 (1050p)
  • 2160x1080 (1080p FHD)
  • 2400x1200 (1200p)
  • 2880x1440 (1440p QHD, used for LG G6 and possibly Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus)
  • 4320x2160 (2160p UHD)
  • 5760x2880 (2880p 5K)
  • 8640x4320 (4320p 8K)
Now, these numbers aren't random; they're taken from 16:9 and 4:3 forms of those resolutions.

  • 144p is 256x144, which is 100x smaller than 1440p
  • 240p is 320x240 (QVGA)
  • 360p is 640x360 (nHD)
  • 480p is 640x480 (VGA) or 854x480 (FWVGA)
  • 720p is 1280x720 (HD) or 1024x720 (old plasma TV HD)
  • 768p is 1024x768 (XGA) or 1366x768 (WXGA)
  • 900p is 1600x900 (WXGA+)
  • 1050p is 1680x1050 (WSXGA+)
  • 1080p is 1920x1080 (FHD) or 1440x1080 (SXGA+)
  • 1200p is 1920x1200 (WUXGA)
  • 1440p is 2560x1440 (QHD)
  • 2160p is 3840x2160 (UHD) or 4096x2160 (DCI 4K)
  • 2880p is 5120x2880 (5K, iMac Retina display)
  • 4320p is 7680x4320 (8K, 4x the size of UHD)
We'll probably see some 2:1 monitors and TVs in 2018, if this trend continues, but this probably would barely affect 16:9 sales due to its immense popularity and also due to it being the current standard for broadcasting.
