WUXGA – more than just a number on the data sheet

24.02.2026

In the world of displays, we constantly come across terms such as HD, Full HD or 4K. They sound technical, but have long since become part of our everyday lives. One resolution that is often underestimated is WUXGA. This is by no means a relic from bygone technological times, but a display format that still shows its strengths today, especially in a professional environment.
Wide Ultra Extended Graphics Array

WUXGA stands for Wide Ultra Extended Graphics Array and describes a resolution of 1920 × 1200 pixels in 16:10 format. A direct comparison with Full HD with 1920 × 1080 pixels is immediately noticeable: The additional height ensures more visible content. What sounds like a small difference on paper is surprisingly noticeable in everyday life. - chip.de

Why the aspect ratio makes the difference

The 16:9 format that is widely used today originally comes from the world of televisions and video content. It is ideal for films and series - but only to a limited extent for productive work. Documents, tables, technical drawings or web applications benefit significantly from more vertical space. This is exactly where WUXGA comes into play.
The additional 120 pixels in height mean less scrolling, a better overview and an overall smoother working experience. Content appears more airy, text is easier to read and information remains in the field of vision for longer. This is a noticeable ergonomic advantage, especially during long working days at the display. - giga.de

WUXGA in professional and industrial use

WUXGA shows its strengths particularly in business, industrial and outdoor applications. Here it is less about entertainment and more about efficiency, clarity and reliability. Whether maintenance logs, ERP systems, shift schedules or technical documentation, all this content benefits from a display that offers more space without relying directly on energy-hungry ultra-high-resolution displays.

Another advantage lies in the balance between sharpness, performance and energy consumption. WUXGA offers a high pixel density on 10-inch displays, but remains resource-efficient. This has a positive effect on battery life, system stability and smooth operation, all factors that are crucial in mobile use.

A display format with real added value

WUXGA is not a marketing buzzword, but a sophisticated display format that has proven itself over the years. It combines high resolution with a practical aspect ratio, creating exactly the space that productive applications need. Anyone who works with digital content on a daily basis quickly realizes that it's not just about sharpness, but also about clarity.
WUXGA unfolds its full potential in combination with robust, powerful devices. Our RUGGED tablets show that this resolution is still a smart choice for anyone who values efficiency, reliability and a pleasant user experience.
