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. 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.






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

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






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. You can only connect a digital monitor to a DVI-D connector. Connecting an analog monitor - such as a CRT monitor - is only possible by using a special ____.






7. Because ____ monitors have better color reproduction than TN monitors and are cheaper than IPS monitors - they are still used by many graphic artists.






8. The ____ connection has all of the pins present in both the DVI-A and DVI-D connections. Most video cards and many LCD monitors have this connection.






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






10. DVI-D ____ link cable.






11. ____ female port.






12. Screen size is often expressed in two different measures - the ____ screen size (also called the actual size) and the ____ viewing size that identifies the largest image size that can be displayed.






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






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






15. 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.






16. The ____ is the number of pixels available on a display screen. Specifically - it is described by the amount of pixels horizontally across the display by the amount of pixels vertically down the display.






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






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






19. The DMS-59 uses a special cable that ____________into separate video interfaces. For example - the cable might split the signal into two DVI-I connectors - two D-sub connectors - or one DVI-I connector and one D-sub connector.






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






21. On a(n) ____ monitor you might be able to see two horizontal lines running across the display. These lines are the wires that are used to dynamically change the grill opening.






22. ____ cable and female port.






23. 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.






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






25. 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.






26. Common resolutions are often described using a naming standard - although these standards encompass much more than just resolution size. SXGA = ____ x ____ (5:4 aspect ratio).






27. DVI-D ____ link cable.






28. 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.






29. ____ (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.






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






31. 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






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






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






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






35. Because ____ monitors have better color reproduction than TN monitors and are cheaper than IPS monitors - they are still used by many graphic artists.






36. 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.






37. On a(n) ____ monitor you might be able to see two horizontal lines running across the display. These lines are the wires that are used to dynamically change the grill opening.






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






39. A ____ connection on a video card provides digital output. These connections are rated as either single link or dual link.
