The height is the vertical side. The width is the horizontal side.
If an object has a specific way it should stand up, then the height and width is fixed, when in it's correct position. Like a box for example. If it has that marking that says "right side up", then when it is right side up, you measure the height and width.
In the case of a screen, if it can be used both ways by rotating it, then I believe the height and width changes as you rotate it. It's not fixed. |

It´s fun to read how this topic evolved from a simple question, which I answered in post #5, to a discussion what resolution actually means  |

Yup. And gremlin and everyone after him ignored my post to cease and desist. 
But since this is in the community forum, it's not too much of a problem. If it was in a help forum, we wouldn't tolerate that kind of thing. |
