Display size. Comparison of screen sizes by width, height, diagonal, area, and aspect ratio.
On 2-D displays, such as computer monitors and TVs, the display size (or viewable image size or VIS) is the physical size of the area where pictures and videos are displayed. The size of a screen is usually described by the length of its diagonal, which is the distance between opposite corners. Display resolution. This chart shows the most common display resolutions, with the color of each resolution type indicating the display ratio (e.g. red indicates a 4:3 ratio).
The display resolution or display modes of a digital television, computer monitor or display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It can be an ambiguous term especially as the displayed resolution is controlled by different factors in cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, flat-panel displays (including liquid-crystal displays) and projection displays using fixed picture-element (pixel) arrays. It is usually quoted as width × height, with the units in pixels: for example, "1024 × 768" means the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 pixels.
This example would normally be spoken as "ten twenty-four by seven sixty-eight" or "ten twenty-four by seven six eight". Web Design Image Gutters. Scaffolding. Need reasons to love Bootstrap?

There'll be no JavaScript involved, and we'll tackle it from a Mobile First approach. Mobile Navigation If you've read Luke Wroblewski's Mobile First you'll be familiar with his statement that: As a general rule, content takes precedence over navigation on mobile.
What he means by this is that mobile users are often looking for immediate answers; they want the content they went searching for, not more navigation options. Many sites, even responsive ones, stick to the convention that navigation belongs at the top of any given page. Take this example from London & Partners: A perfectly decent responsive design, but at standard mobile viewport dimensions (320px x 480px) all you really see is a navigation menu.

It does not take into account PAR (pixel aspect ratio, pixels may be non-square) and thus the DAR (display aspect ratio, the aspect ratio of the actual image that is displayed) may differ.
