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






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

5. 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.






6. 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






7. You can connect LCD monitors to a video card with a DVI-I connector with either a ____ or ____ connection.






8. The ____ is the ratio of the width and the height.






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






10. 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






11. RT monitors use an electron beam that hits phosphor dots inside of a vacuum tube. While it is possible for a CRT monitor to have a digital connection - virtually all CRT monitors connect to the video card using a ____ (also called a D-sub) connector.






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






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






14. ____ (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.






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






16. 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.






17. There are ____ to identify and possibly fix dead pixels on a monitor.






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






19. Like HDMI - DisplayPort can send audio signals over the ______ (if audio is supported by the video card and monitor).






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






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






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






23. The ____ is the ratio of the width and the height.






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






25. 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.






26. ____ 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.






27. 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.






28. 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.






29. ____ 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.






30. 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.






31. A ____ connection on a video card provides analog output and are rarely (if ever) used for computers monitors - but might be used on some HDTV systems.






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






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






34. 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.






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






36. 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.






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






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






39. 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






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