If your project is designed for a TV screen:
| Standard | Resolution | Known as |
|---|---|---|
| 480p | 720x480 | Enhanced-definition (EDTV) |
| 576p | 720x576 | Enhanced-definition (EDTV) |
| 720p | 1280x720 | High-definition (HDTV) |
| 1080p | 1920x1080 | High-definition (HDTV) |
| 1440p “2K” | 2560x1440 | Ultra-high-definition (UHDTV) |
| 2160p “4K” | 3840x2160 | Ultra-high-definition (UHDTV) |
| 4320p “8K” | 7680x4320 | Ultra-high-definition (UHDTV) |
Note that the higher the resolution, the more processing power is required by Fusion and consequently, your machine.
Android
There are billions of Android devices out there, it is important to design your Fusion project that looks good on all types of screen sizes and densities.
Screen Size
The device’s physical size, measured as a diagonal. Android groups these sizes into four generalized sizes: small, normal, large and extra-large.
Screen Density
The quantity of pixels on the device’s physical screen. Referred to as DPI (dots per inch). Android groups them into: low, medium, high, xhigh, xxhigh and xxxhigh.
Due to this, there isn’t an easy answer to which resolution to use, as it depends on the type of game. There is a discussion thread here.
