22. The magnetic field used for drawing the image on the screen can cause a buildup of magnetism on internal monitor components. This magnetic field can cause color distortions - especially around the edges. To correct this problem - use the ____ feature






23. ____ DVI-D connectors have 3 rows of 6 pins with one additional larger horizontal pin.






24. LCD monitors often include features for HDTV support such as an HDMI input that accepts ____________ through the HDMI port.






25. Cheaper TVs and monitors at lower resolutions or using ____ (where every other line is drawn with each pass) are not capable of displaying all of the video content in full HD.






26. A ____ connection on a video card provides both analog and digital output.






27. You can connect an analog CRT or LCD monitor to a video card with a DVI-I connector. This requires a cable with a ____ connection on one end and a ____ connection on the other end.






28. ____ or luminance identifies the amount of light the monitor produces (how bright it is) and is measured in candelas per square meter (cd/m2 also called a Nit) - with a higher number indicating a brighter screen.






29. There are two methods of controlling the illumination of the phosphor - 2) an ____ consists of a screen of ultra thin vertical and horizontal wires. This configuration allows more electrons through resulting in a richer color display.






30. Be aware that the display qualities of your monitor depend on the capabilities of both the monitor and the ____.






31. LDC monitors use ____ panels that are the most common type used in computer monitors - especially in smaller sizes. These panels have very good response times (2ms to 5ms) - so are well-suited for games with a lot of motion.






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






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






34. ____ are tube monitors with a flatter glass tube that results in an image with less distortion around the edges.






35. For manufacturers - the ____ is royalty free - whereas including an HDMI connector requires a fee for each connector used. Manufacturers such as Dell and Apple are starting to use DisplayPorts in monitors and video cards - but these are not yet used






36. Having a few dead ____ can be common on many displays.






37. ____ DVI-D connectors have 3 rows of 6 pins with one additional larger horizontal pin.






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






39. There are two methods of controlling the illumination of the phosphor - 2) an ____ consists of a screen of ultra thin vertical and horizontal wires. This configuration allows more electrons through resulting in a richer color display.
