    However, during the transition, the change was not backwards-compatible and video cards using the old scheme could have problems if a DDC-capable monitor was connected. [5] [6] The DDC signal can be sent to or from a video graphics array (VGA) monitor with the I 2 C protocol using the master's serial clock and serial data pins.

  4. Screen tearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing

    Too much latency causes the monitor to overtake the software on occasion, leading to rendering artifacts, tearing, etc. Demo software on classic systems such as the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum frequently exploited those techniques because of the predictable nature of their respective video systems to achieve effects that might otherwise be ...

    No signal conversion is necessary, nor is there a loss of video quality when a DVI-to-HDMI adapter is used. [ 5 ] : §C The Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) capability allows HDMI devices to control each other when necessary and allows the user to operate multiple devices with one handheld remote control device.

  6. Intermittent fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fault

    Intermittent faults are notoriously difficult to identify and repair ("troubleshoot") because each individual factor does not create the problem alone, so the factors can only be identified while the malfunction is actually occurring. The person capable of identifying and solving the problem is seldom the usual operator.

    These errors include non-recoverable internal system chipset errors, corruption in system memory such as parity and ECC errors, and data corruption detected on system and peripheral buses. On some systems, a computer user can trigger an NMI through hardware and software debugging interfaces and system reset buttons.

  8. Variable refresh rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_refresh_rate

    On displays with a fixed refresh rate, a frame can only be shown on the screen at specific intervals, evenly spaced apart. If a new frame is not ready when that interval arrives, then the old frame is held on screen until the next interval (stutter) or a mixture of the old frame and the completed part of the new frame is shown . Conversely, if ...
