Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

4. A quicker ____ is needed when viewing moving images such as video or games. If it is too slow (above 8ms) the result are ghosting or blurred images.






5. 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.

8. DisplayPort uses a digital-only signal. To connect a VGA monitor to it - you will need a special active ____ that reformats the signal for analog devices.






9. 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






10. It is common for ____ monitors to support a wide number of resolutions - but LCD monitors often have a____ (optimum) display resolution.






11. Green monitors are Energy Star or Green Star compliant. These monitors use less than ____ watts and reduce power consumption by ____% when in sleep or suspended mode.






12. Most manufactures have a minimum number of ____ pixels that must exist before they will consider an exchange. In addition - some place limitations on where they must be located in order to qualify.






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

21. 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.






22. Pressing lightly on the ____ may revive the pixel.






23. ____ monitors will typically list the monitor size along with the viewable image size which is smaller than the total screen size. Because of how the monitor is made - not all of the available screen size can actually display an image.






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

33. ____ is an alternative to an HDMI connector.






34. CRT monitors with DVI-D connectors are possible but rare. This means that the CRT monitor accepts ____ input.






35. The ____ is the number of pixels - and is expressed using two numbers: the number of horizontal rows and vertical columns.
