Short for wide ultra extended graphics array, WUXGA is the wide version of UXGA (ultra extended graphics array) with a display resolution of 1920 pixels by 1200 pixels. The "wide" part of WUXGA comes from its 16:10 aspect ratio, a bit longer horizontally than the more traditional 16:9 on most widescreen displays.

WUXGA is often found on computer monitors and phablets as the 16:10 aspect ratio can display two full pages of text side by side. The extra pixels can also be beneficial for tasks that require more horizontal space, such as video editing or multitasking with several open windows. That said, UltraWide or utilizing more than one monitor are more common solutions for multitasking.
