FAQ/Screen Resolution

By default, Fusion uses the resolution of 640x480 for new projects. This page will detail suggested ways to pick one that's right for your project.

Standard Sizes

Here's a table of resolutions commonly used for applications and games.

Desktop

Standard	Screen Resolution(s)	Aspect Ratio	Commonly known as
VGA	640x480	4:3
Super VGA	800x600	4:3
XGA	1024x768	4:3
XGA+	1152x864 1152x870 1152x900	4:3
High Definition	1360x768 1366x768	16:9	720p
WXGA	1280x800	16:10
SXGA	1280x1024	5:4
SXGA+	1440x900	16:10
High Definition	1600x900	16:9	900p
UXGA	1600x1200	4:3
WSXGA+	1680x1050	16:10
High Definition	1920x1080	16:9	1080p
WUXGA	1920x1200	16:10
Full HD Plus	1920x1280	3:2
Quad HD	2048x1080	16:9	1440p / 2K
Ultra HD	3840x2160	16:9	2160p / 4K

If your project is designed for a TV screen:

Standard	Resolution
Enhanced-definition (EDTV)
480p	720x480
576p	720x576
High-definition (HDTV)
720p	1280x720
1080p	1920x1080
Ultra-high-definition (UHDTV)
1440p "2K"	2560x1440
2160p "4K"	3840x2160
4320p "8K"	7680x4320

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.

Official documentation is available on Android Developers.
