Information
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 between 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 Vertical
Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz.
Example: If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded as 60
Hz. In this case, flickering of the screen can be detected. To avoid this problem,
there is a Flicker-free Mode using a vertical frequency over 70 Hz.
Horizontal Frequency
The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of the screen
horizontally is called Horizontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle
is called Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz
Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods
Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom in order is
called the Non- Interlace method while showing 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 information 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 resolution. This number shows the accuracy of the display. High resolution is
good for performing multiple tasks as more image information can be shown on the
screen.
Example: If the resolution is 1024 x 768, this means the screen is composed of
1024 horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 768 vertical lines (vertical
resolution).
