if your looking at 1440x900, that means that the screen cannot display a picture with more than 1296000 pixels (1440 times 900= 129600) or a picture wider than 1440 pixels across. it can however display pictures smaller than the "native" resolution, it does this by assigning one pixel of picture to a few pixels on the screen. this will make it look grainy.
basically it is saying what the best picture is that yopu can get out of that screen

1440 x 900 means that the top resolution for that screen is 1440 pixels wide and 900 pixels tall. The more pixels per inch the higher the quality of image you will see.

1440 by 900 is the amount of pixels on the screen. 1440 pixels going one way, and 900 going the other way.

Its the number of pixels horizontally and vertically an LCD ideally displays. Since LCD monitors are made up of millions of tiny individual crystals, they have single resolution that they ideally display at (1 pixel for every crystal). CRT monitors (the old kind) do not have this limitation.

Fundamentally, it's best resolution you can achieve. Normally, it's driven though by the graphics card. Another term you'll see is native resolution.
