16:10 Aspect Ratio Calculator
Sizing for a productivity laptop or monitor? Enter the width or height below and this 16:10 aspect ratio calculator finds the match, including classic sizes like 1920x1200 (WUXGA) and 2560x1600.
What is the 16:10 Aspect Ratio?
The 16:10 aspect ratio is widescreen, just a little taller than the common 16:9. At 1.6:1, a 16:10 screen fits about 11% more vertical pixels than a 16:9 screen of the same width: 1920 x 1200 versus 1920 x 1080.
That extra height is why productivity laptops (including recent MacBooks and many business models) use 16:10: you see more lines of a document, more rows of a spreadsheet, and more of a timeline without scrolling.
Common 16:10 Resolutions
From smaller laptops up to large monitors, these are the standard 16:10 resolutions:
- 1280 x 800 (WXGA)
- 1440 x 900 (WXGA+)
- 1680 x 1050 (WSXGA+)
- 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA)
- 2560 x 1600 (WQXGA)
- 3840 x 2400 (4K 16:10)
The letter codes are legacy display labels; the pixel numbers are what matter. Divide any pair by 80 or 160 and you get back to 16:10.
16:10 vs 16:9
Same width, taller screen. A 16:9 widescreen is built for movies and full-screen video; a 16:10 is built for work. The trade-off:
- 16:10 wins for documents, web pages, code, and creative tools with palettes and toolbars.
- 16:9 wins for watching most video, which is produced in 16:9 and fills the screen edge to edge.
Play 16:9 video full screen on a 16:10 display and you will see thin black bars top and bottom; crop it and you lose a little of the picture. Use the calculator above to preview exact dimensions for either shape. Compare with the 16:9 calculator.

What is 16:10 in pixels?
1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) is the best-known 16:10 size. Any size where the height is 0.625 times the width is 16:10, like 1280 x 800 or 2560 x 1600.

Yes. Dividing both numbers by 120 gives 16:10, so 1920x1200 is a 16:10 screen.

No. A 16:10 screen is taller than a 16:9 screen of the same width (1200 vs 1080 pixels at 1920 wide).
Why do laptops use 16:10?
The extra vertical space fits toolbars, documents and code better than 16:9, which is why many productivity laptops use 16:10.
