resolution
The image size of the screen that is usually described as 'width x height' in the number of pixels. Some arcade machines put out a higher resoultion than the monitor. Some arcade games (including Capcom's CPS-series games) are processed wider horizontally than the arcade monitors are and this gives the games a lot of having higher details. That's also why many later Capcom arcade sprites images look wide when displayed at their normal resolution (384 pixels) instead of the intentionally squished resolution of the monitor's width (usually 320 pixels).
