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. 
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).
