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).
