Display notes
Resolution and aspect ratio are related, but not the same.
What is aspect ratio?
Aspect ratio describes the proportional relationship between image width and height, such as 16:9. Resolution describes the actual number of pixels.
Why can two resolutions have the same aspect ratio?
1920×1080 and 3840×2160 are both 16:9. They have the same shape but different pixel densities and total pixel counts.
Why does the calculator show a nearest common format?
Some custom LED canvases and content resolutions do not reduce exactly to a common broadcast/display ratio. The nearest standard format is only a comparison reference.
