Screen Resolution: For graphics monitors, the screen resolution signifies the number of dots (pixels) on the entire screen. For example, a 640-by-480 pixel screen is capable of displaying 640 distinct dots on each of 480 lines, or about 300,000 pixels. This translates into different dpi measurements depending on the size of the screen. For example, a 15-inch VGA monitor (640x480) displays about 50 dots per inch.
Native Resolution: Native Resolution refers to the number of physical pixels in a display device. For example, an SVGA projector has 800 physical pixels of resolution horizontally and 600 pixels vertically or 480,000 total pixels. This is the native resolution of the projector. Projectors are capable of projecting greater or smaller resolution images into the same physical resolution through scaling. Scaling reduces the resolution of larger images and increases the resolution of smaller images to match the native resolution of the display device. This type of digital scaling always produces some artifacts in the image that are more apparent when viewing text than graphics or video.
