How many pixels are in a 2MP (megapixel) monitor?

• A. 1 million
• B. 2 million
• C. 4 million
• D. 8 million

Answer: (B)

Megapixel is a unit for counting pixels, with one megapixel equal to one million pixels. The total number of pixels on a display is the product of its horizontal and vertical pixel counts, so a 2 MP monitor has about two million pixels in total. For example, 1920 by 1080 resolution is 2,073,600 pixels, which is just over two million—still described as about two megapixels. Therefore, the monitor has around two million pixels.
