These are. a lot less bulky than CRTs, use less power, and have better geometry - but. As the price of LCD (and other technology) flat. CRT based monitors will eventually go the way of. However, there are still problems with (low cost, at least) LCD monitors. First, the picture quality in terms of gray scale and color is generally.

TVs or monitors - no matter what the size - . The chance of success is vanishingly small and it's very likely. The following describe the capabilities which characterize a display. Resolution - the number of resolvable pixels on each line and the. Bandwidth of the video source, cable, and. CRT focus spot size are all critical. However, maximum resolution on a color CRT is limited by the dot/slot/line.

CRT shadow/slot mask or aperture grille. Refresh rate - the number of complete images 'painted' on the screen. Non- interlaced or progressive scanning posts the entire.

Interlaced scanning posts. This interleaving reduces the apparent flicker for a given. TV. It is. usually not acceptable for computer graphics, however, as thin horizontal. Refresh rate is the. CRT phosphors are also a consideration. Long persistence.

Vertical scan rate is equal to the refresh rate for. Non- interlaced vertical refresh rates. Hz are considered desirable for computer displays. Television. uses 2. Hz (frame rate) interlaced scanning in most countries. Horizontal scan rate - the frequency at which the electron beam(s) move.

The horizontal scan rate is often the limiting factor. It is what may. cause failure if scan rate speed limits are exceeded due to the component. Color or monochrome - a color monitor has a CRT with three electron. Nearly all visible colors can be created from a mix of primaries. A monochrome monitor has a CRT with a single electron gun. However. the actual color of the display may be white, amber, green, or whatever.

CRT selected. Digital or analog signal - a digital input can only assume a discrete. A single bit. input can only produce two levels - usually black or white (or amber. Four bit EGA can display up to 1. Analog inputs allow for a theoretically unlimited number of possible gray.

However, the actual storage and digital- to- analog. CRT - and ultimately, limitations.
