Widescreen resolutions are resolutions that are of a 16:9 (more common) or 16:10 (slightly less common). The majority of computer monitors and TV's produced today are widescreen, and thus feature a native widescreen resolution. Widescreen resolutions can cause problems with older games that were built for a 4:3 screen, resulting in either a stretched screen or black bars of unused screen space. Most games today will feature built in support for widescreen resolutions, while some games may require tweaking to force such a resolution.

Common 16:9 resolutions include:

2048x1152
1920×1080
1600×900
1366×768
1280×720

Common 16:10 resolutions include:

2560×1600
1920×1200
1680×1050
1440×900
1280×800
