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 the Ver-
tical 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 Hor-
izontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cy-
cle is called Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz
Interlace and Non-Inter-
lace Methods
Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top
to the bottom sequentially 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 fol-
lows the international standard VESA DDC for the Plug
& Play function.
Resolution The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to com-
pose the screen image is called the 'resolution'. This
number shows the accuracy of the display. A high res-
olution is good for performing multiple tasks as more
image information can be shown on the screen.
