Monitor and its quality

Hello friends!

Welcome back! All of us are using monitors and also Telvisions for many years. But do we all know about the factors on which their quality depends. The quality factors are almost same for both i.e. TV and Monitor. Television is a general thing. Let us know something about monitors.
Monitor, all we know is widely used with computers. It is an output device of the computer i.e. we get output of a computer on the screen of a monitor. It is called monitor because it monitors the activites of the computer. Also in the fairs and crowded areas monitors are installed to monitor any unwanted activity.
The most important factors on which the quality of a monitor depends are 1. Resolution 2. Refresh Rate 3. Aspect Ratio
Resolution is the number of pixels (dots) a monitor can show along its horizontal and vertical axis. e.g. A monitor with 1024*768 resolution is capable of showing 1024 pixels along its horizontal axis and 768 pixels on its vertical axis. Higher the resolution, higher will be the quality of a monitor.
Refresh rate of the monitor is the measure of the times a monitor draws whole screen of pixels i.e. 1024*768 per second. It means a monitor with refresh rate of 72 will draw 1024*768 pixels in a second on screen to show us required text or picture/graphics. A monitor with less than 72 refresh rate will strain your eyes. So be careful to adjust accordingly.
Aspect ratio of the monitor is the ratio of width and height of visible area of the screen. The most common is 4:3, but for some applications that deals with more graphics/pictures wide screen monitors are used having aspect ratio of 16:9.
Next time we will try to understand some more things related to video viewing. Enjoy reading till then.
