2. 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






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






4. The ____ is the distance between pixels. A lower number means a sharper image and possibly higher resolutions.






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.






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






7. ____ 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.






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






9. 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.






10. 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.






11. 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






12. Video cards and monitors with a built-in TV tuner have an ____ cable TV connector. Most video cards that provide cable TV input also include audio output. However - most of these cards do not provide analog or digital monitor output.






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

16. Full HD content is designed for a resolution of 1920 x 1080 using ____ (where each line on the screen is redrawn in order). Full HD support is therefore referred to as 1080p.






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






18. Resolutions with a W in the name are X____ resolutions with a 16:10 aspect ratio. In addition to these standard resolutions - you can also purchase monitors with the 16:9 aspect ratio used by HDTV content.






19. 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.






20. ____ (1280 x 720 progressive scan) and ____ (1920 x 1080 with interlacing) identify displays that do not support full HD content - with both 720p and 1080i being comparable in quality.

22. The ____ contrast ratio indicates the difference that can be displayed at the same time.






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






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






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






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






27. If you watch HDTV content (DVD movies) on a 16:10 monitor - the display will either be stretched slightly or have black bars (areas without video content) on the top and the bottom. If you want to optimize DVD viewing from your computer - consider pu






28. If you are concerned about dead pixels - review the ____ before purchasing.






29. A ____ screen is typically desired for watching movies - or on laptops where the screen is viewed in full sunlight.






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






31. A DVI-A (digital video-analog) is used for an ____________. Use a cable with a D-sub connection on one end and this connection on the other end to connect to the monitor.






32. Increasingly - the difference between an LCD monitor and an HDTV is being blurred. You can purchase an HDTV that can also function as a monitor - or a monitor that can function as a TV. Resolutions used by HDTV are: ____ and ____.






33. ____ 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.






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






35. 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.






36. ____ panels have relatively slow response times (6ms to 16ms) - and have a slight purple tint in blacks when viewed from a wide angle.






37. LCD displays are very delicate and occasionally a pixel fails to display properly (called a ____).






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






39. 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.






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






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






42. 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.
