Monitors display images with several characteristics that you can control: resolution, brightness and contrast, and color depth. Resolution and color depth are usually adjusted with the software driver that works with the computer's operating system through the graphics adapter card. Resolution is how many pixels your screen displays for a given size dimension, and is given in pixel dimensions, such as 640 x 480. Other popular sizes are 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768. For example, 800 x 600 means your monitor's screen will have 800 pixels on the long horizontal side and 600 pixels on the short vertical side. More resolution, such as 1024 x 768, means smaller pixels and finer detail. Monitors also come in different sizes. A 17 inch monitor usually refers to the size of the diagonal measurement of the screen, although the actual usable area of the screen is usually less. |
