Yes, and the drop-down menu has all of the various resolutions that are included
in a file called 'quickres.inc'. You can add to or change those default
resolutions by editing that file. If it is not already open in your POV-ray
editor window in the Windows GUI, go to the 'Tools' tab at the top and select
'Edit resolution INI file.' That will open quickres.ini. Then you can write-in
other resolutions.

For example, the following is, I think, one of the default resolution blocks
there:

[512x384]
Width=512
Height=384
Antialias=On
Antialias_Threshold=0.3

You can write a new one:

[1920X1080 widescreen]
Width=1920
Height=1080
;Antialias=On
;Antialias_Threshold=0.3

Then the drop-down resolution menu will include that for your later use. (The
semicolons can be used to commment-out those particular entries, just like using
double-slashes // for comments in a scene file.)

My own quickres.ini file is chock-full of customized entries!
