Resolution refers to the number of pixels on an image. A pixel is a tiny illumination that makes up an image. A good example is when you use Microsoft Paint with Microsoft Windows.

It has a higher density of building blocks for the image, so it is able to define more detail.
Image Resolution With Regards To Monitor Picture Quality
As you can imagine, the pixel density, aka how many pixels the image uses, will affect the quality of the picture as a whole. The picture resolution simply refers to the image itself and how many pixels it is using; the same is true for videos. Your monitor resolution is a different thing completely.
When you bought your monitor, you should have seen your monitor specs, which will have detailed your monitor resolution. This also refers to the number of pixels your monitor may have, but unlike images, it is not a reference to how many pixels the monitor has, more it is a measure of how many pixels your monitor can “show.”
