What is resolution?
Computer monitors (and all displays really) work by displaying a matrix of tiny dots (called pixels) in a grid which make up the picture on your screen.
Display resolution is simply the number of pixels your screen is displaying.
Example: 800x600 display resolution means that your display is made up of 800 pixels horizontally by 600 pixels vertically.
The higher the resolution, the sharper the image appears, and the smaller details can be rendered. Inversely, higher resolution settings can also make text, images, and webpages appear smaller on your screen, possibly making them more difficult to read.
WHAT IS DPI?
Dots per inch (DPI) is a measure of spatial printing or video dot density, in particular the number of individual dots that can be placed in a line within the span of 1 inch (2.54 cm)
