18. Additional monitor features include built in ____ or ____ hub.






19. TN panels have poor color reproduction due to the fact that only ____-bits per color can be displayed. They mimic true 24-bit color using dithering and other techniques.






20. Dual link DVI-D can support 60 Hz up to ____ x ____ resolution.






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






22. ____ displays have a 4:3 aspect ratio (used in CRT displays).






23. 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






24. There are two methods of controlling the illumination of the phosphor - 1) ____ that consists of a metal screen full of holes that are aligned with each dot. The screen shields the electron beam from illuminating between dots and leaves an outline ar






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






26. LCD monitors often include features for HDTV support such as support for ____ to watch copy-protected content.






27. VA panels suffer from ____ that produces uneven colors across the display with loss of detail in dark scenes.






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






29. You can connect analog CRT monitors to a video card with a...






30. LCD monitors often include features for HDTV support such as support for ____ to watch copy-protected content.






31. The ____ indicates how quickly a pixel can go from black - to white - and back to black and is indicated in milliseconds (ms).






32. Additional monitor features include built in ____ or ____ hub.

34. DVI-D ____ link cable.






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






36. The ____ connector - sometimes called a VGA connector - uses a DB-15 connector with three rows of pins.






37. The ____ identifies the angle at which the image can still be seen. With LCD monitors - the image will be dimmer and colors distorted when viewed from an angle. It is described with two numbers: horizontal angle and vertical angle - with a higher num






38. The HDTV connector uses a ____-pin mini-din cable.






39. 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.






40. ____ panels offer the best contrast ratios of the display types - and are well suited for movies that require good contrast.






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