Appendix C. Monitor terminology
As you read the documentation that came with your monitor and the monitor 
information provided in this chapter, you might find a few technical terms. If you 
change your monitor settings, refer to the following table to understand some of the 
terms used to describe monitor characteristics.  
Table 1: Monitor terms and definitions
Term
Definition
display mode
A resolution setting associated with a vertical frequency 
setting (and sometimes a color setting). For example, 640x480 
at 75 Hz, 256 colors.
horizontal frequency
Rate (in kilohertz [kHz]) at which each line on the screen is 
drawn.
interlaced
Method of producing an image by drawing only alternating 
lines until the entire image is completed.
noninterlaced
Method of producing an image by drawing each line, one after 
the other, until the entire image is completed. This method 
produces less flicker than the interlaced method.
pel (or pixel)
A picture element. A small rectangle or portion of an image 
that together with other pels make up the entire image.
resolution
The number of pels required to display an image horizontally 
and vertically. For example, 640x480 means 640 pels 
horizontally and 480 pels vertically.
SVGA
Super video graphics array. A video standard that provides 
some of the higher text and graphics resolutions. 
vertical frequency/
refresh rate
Rate (in hertz [Hz]) at which the entire image is drawn on the 
screen. Also called “refresh rate.”
