Search Logic: | Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
Horizontal Pixels: | The number of pixels in a row of the image sensor. The greater the number of pixels, the better the resolution. For example, VGA resolution is (640x480), this means the number of horizontal pixels is 640 and the number of vertical pixels are 480. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Vertical Pixels: | The number of pixels in a column of the image sensor. The greater the number of pixels, the better the resolution. For example, VGA resolution is (640x480), this means the number of horizontal pixels is 640 and the number of vertical pixels are 480. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Pixel Size: | The largest dimension of the pixel. Pixels are usually square but can sometimes be rectangular. | ||
Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value. | ||
