Similar to your TV, these pixels, can be used to create any image or color on your monitor. Smaller pixels mean smoother, better looking images.
Larger pixels create grainy, rough images.
We measure the size of these pixels by counting how many will fit on a screen. For instance, when you buy a new computer, your screen is set to 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels tall. Your monitor screen has a fixed size. Adding more pixels to your screen will not make your physical monitor bigger. So, in order to add more pixels, they must be made smaller to fit.
