Dot Pitch	The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue dots.
	The closer the dots, the higher the resolution. The distance be-
	tween two dots of the same color is called the 'Dot Pitch'. Unit:
	mm
Vertical Frequency	The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to
	create and display an image for the user. The frequency of this
	repetition per second is called the Vertical Frequency or Refresh
	Rate. Unit: Hz
	Example: If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this
	is regarded as 60 Hz.
Horizontal Frequency	The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge
	of the screen horizontally is called the Horizontal Cycle. The in-
	verse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizontal Fre-
	quency. Unit: kHz
Interlace and Non-Interlace	Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bot-
Methods	tom sequentially is called the Non-Interlace method while show-
	ing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the Interlace
	method. The Non-Interlace method is used for the majority of
	monitors to ensure a clear image. The Interlace method is the same
	as that used in TVs.
Plug & Play	This is a function that provides the best quality screen for the user
	by allowing the computer and the monitor to exchange informa-
	tion automatically. This monitor follows the international standard
	VESA DDC for the Plug & Play function.
Resolution	The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the
	screen image is called the 'resolution'. This number shows the ac-
	curacy of the display. A high resolution is good for performing
	multiple tasks as more image information can be shown on the
	screen.
	Example: If the resolution is 1280 x 1024 , this means the screen
	is composed of 1280 horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and
	1024 vertical lines (vertical resolution).
