  2. Refresh rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate

    Raster-scan CRTs by their nature must refresh the screen since their phosphors will fade and the image will disappear quickly unless refreshed regularly. In a CRT, the vertical scan rate is the number of times per second that the electron beam returns to the upper left corner of the screen to begin drawing a new frame. [3]

  3. Screen tearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing

    During video motion, screen tearing creates a torn look as the edges of objects (such as a wall or a tree) fail to line up. Tearing can occur with most common display technologies and video cards and is most noticeable in horizontally-moving visuals, such as in slow camera pans in a movie or classic side-scrolling video games.

  4. Flicker (screen) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_(screen)

    The flicker of a CRT monitor can cause various symptoms in those sensitive to it such as eye strain, headaches [9] in migraine sufferers, and seizures in epileptics. [10]As the flicker is most clearly seen at the edge of our vision there is no obvious risk in using a CRT, but prolonged use can cause a sort of retinal shock where the flickering is seen even when looking away from the monitor.

  5. Liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display

    The fine wires, or pathways, form a grid with vertical wires across the whole screen on one side of the screen and horizontal wires across the whole screen on the other side of the screen. To this grid each pixel has a positive connection on one side and a negative connection on the other side.

  6. Display motion blur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_motion_blur

    Motion blur, refers to the reduction in clarity when people track moving objects on a display.This is the result of the display not showing the frame for an infinitesimally short amount of time: your eyes are "tracking" an object that is in fact stationary, resulting in it looking smeared/blurry.

  7. Dot pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_pitch

    The exact difference between horizontal and diagonal dot pitch varies with the design of the monitor (see pixel geometry and widescreen), but a typical entry-level 0.28 mm (diagonal) monitor has a horizontal pitch of 0.24 or 0.25 mm, and a good quality 0.26 mm (diagonal) unit has a horizontal pitch of 0.22 mm.

  9. Flicker-free - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker-free

    Flicker-free is a term given to video displays, primarily cathode-ray tubes, operating at a high refresh rate to reduce or eliminate the perception of screen flicker.For televisions, this involves operating at a 100 Hz or 120 Hz hertz field rate to eliminate flicker, compared to standard televisions that operate at 50 Hz (PAL, SÉCAM systems) or 60 Hz (), most simply done by displaying each ...
