The resolution of a screen states it's measurements in pixels. A resolution is given in two numbers, the first one giving the number of pixels in each line of pixels, the second one giving the numbers of such pixel lines.
Also, for certain display configurations standards were introduced and given names, such as i.e. VGA. They are usually but not always associated with one specific resolution.
