HDMI
The term HDMI is a high definition multimedia interface device. The latter term refers to special inputs found in LCD TVs and computers. HDMI devices are input devices for the specific reception of digital information (uncompressed). HDMI is a high tech alternative for other input forms like RF, and coaxial cables. HDMI is compatible with [...]
Form Factor
Within a computer’s housing, the term form factor directly describes the arrangement, size, and configuration of a specific hardware inside the computer housing. The term form factor might describe the case of the computer or the computer chassis. The term form factor might also describe special components inside the computer device: one example would be [...]
DVI
DVI is an acronym which literally stands for the words Digital Visual Interface. Digital Display Working Group creates a digital standard which purposefully changes analog signals directly into digital signals so that both digital and analog monitors can be accommodated. A DVI is a standard connection for connecting a display with a video card. Analog [...]
Dot Pitch/Pixel Pitch
The term dot pitch is used to describe and explain the distance set between a green, red, or blue pixel and the nearest green, red, or blue pixel within a colour computer or television monitor. Pixel pitch is merely another way of expressing the term dot pitch. The smaller the distance between specific, similar pixels, [...]
Digital driving level (DDL)
The term digital driving level refers to a specific value which, when provided as input to a specific display system generates a form of luminance. The entire DDL set of a select system is equivalent to all the values that can generate luminance within the system.
Composite Video Signal
A composite video signal is a special video format that unifies three video signals (YUV) into a single channel. “Y” refers to the luma/brightness, and “U” and “V” are the colours/chroma. Televisions with NTSC tuners as well as SECAM and PAL devices offer composite video inputs where a signal can be detected and translated. Nevertheless, [...]
Colour Temperature
The reference of temperature in terms of colour describes whether the colours are cool or warm. Colour temperature is a form of measurement used in LCD TVs which measures the amount of light that is radiated by a particular object while it is in the process of being heated; an absolute scale can be used [...]
Colour Support
Colour support refers to the potential for LCD calibration via the incorporated Colour control framework within the LCD television’s housing. Consumers are given the ability to alter and adapt the Colour hue, brightness, contrast, temperature, and intensity via special calibration features.
Analog vs Digital
Analog signals and digital signals are two different forms of signals which require different methods of interpretation and translation for viewing on a display screen. Video cards housed inside computers process analog digital signals and convert them to analog information for viewing upon the pc monitor. In LCD televisions, analog and digital signals can be [...]
Active Matrix LCD
An active matrix LCD is the same thing as a thin film transistor display or TFT. An active matrix LCD is a device used within an LCD TV, a flat panel television, or a flat panel notebook/laptop device. The active matrix LCD delivers an ultra responsive graphic/image display and a better angle for viewing images [...]
