6. VA panels have ____ color reproduction and wider viewing angles than TN displays - but with slower response times and a higher cost.






7. Common resolutions are often described using a naming standard - although these standards encompass much more than just resolution size. SVGA = ____ x ____.






8. Some LCD monitors have a D-sub connection - or you might need a cable with this connection on one end and a _______ on the other end to connect to the LCD monitor.






9. Because ____ monitors have better color reproduction than TN monitors and are cheaper than IPS monitors - they are still used by many graphic artists.






10. ____ on the screen can be mistaken for a dead pixel.






11. TN panels have ____ viewing angles and contrast ratios than the other display types.






12. The ____ refers to the difference in light intensity between the brightest white and the darkest black. An example is 1000:1. A higher initial number indicates a better quality picture.

16. You can use a DVI-to-HDMI cable to connect the ____ output from a video card to a monitor or an HDTV device that has an HDMI connector. However - this configuration only supplies video - and not audio - to the display device.






17. Common resolutions are often described using a naming standard - although these standards encompass much more than just resolution size. SXGA = ____ x ____ (5:4 aspect ratio).






18. The ____ rate is the amount of time (measured in Hz) required for the CRT's electron beam to paint the screen from top to bottom. Increasing the rate reduces screen flicker.






19. ____ panels have the best color reproduction quality and viewing angles of the display types - and are well suited for graphic design where full and accurate color representation is required.






20. DisplayPort is also an internal video interface used by ____ displays to interface with internal video cards.






21. Because ____ monitors have better color reproduction than TN monitors and are cheaper than IPS monitors - they are still used by many graphic artists.






22. If the video card only has a DVI-D connector and you have an analog-only monitor - it is often cheaper to purchase a new ____ instead of the converter box.

25. An ____ connector supplies analog - video-only TV output in three separate channels: R (red) - G (green) - and B (blue).






26. CRT monitors have a ____ aspect ratio which matches the display ration of a television set.






27. The smaller the dot pitch - the more room there is for____ resolutions and the ____ a picture may be.






28. ____ panels are the most expensive type of panel - and could be difficult to find.






29. Composite signals combine three qualities of video into a single signal; the Y channel is for brightness or luminance and ____ and ____ channels provide ____ information.






30. The DMS-59 uses a special cable that ____________into separate video interfaces. For example - the cable might split the signal into two DVI-I connectors - two D-sub connectors - or one DVI-I connector and one D-sub connector.






31. The ____ connector is used to allow multiple video ports from a single connection.It is typically included on slimline video cards that can have only a single port. It sends out two separate DVI-I signals through the single connector.






32. Common resolutions are often described using a naming standard - although these standards encompass much more than just resolution size. XGA = ____ x ____.






33. The LCD ____ provides the light that makes the individual pixels visible. The light itself is actually along the top - bottom - and/or sides - with a special layer that reflects the light throughout the display.






34. Because of how the ____ monitor works - portions of the display tube cannot be used for displaying the image.






35. ____ is a digital video and audio connector used for high-definition digital audio and video. Itcombines the audio and video signals onto a single cable. You can use HDMI connectors with a video card with an ____ connector. Many of these video cards






36. There are currently two methods used for the backlight - 2) ____ backlights provide brighter screens - lower power consumption - a wider color range - greater contrast - and mercury-free construction. They use DC power - eliminating the need for an i






37. Common resolutions are often described using a naming standard - although these standards encompass much more than just resolution size. UXGA = ____ x ____.
