CRT Monitors - part 1 by MDofPC |
Topic: CRT Monitors |
| In an industry in which development is so rapid, it is somewhat surprising that the technology behind monitors and televisions is over a hundred years old. Whilst confusion surrounds the precise origins of the cathode-ray tube, or CRT, it's generally agreed that German scientist Karl Ferdinand Braun... |

| In 1995, TCO modified the requirements for visual ergonomics and added a range of conditions to cover environmental issues, including the use of certain chemicals in manufacturing and the recycling of components. The most stringent standard so far, and the result of collaboration between the TCO |

Topic: CRT Monitors |
| Most CRT monitors have case depths about as deep as the screen is wide, begging the question "what is it that's inside a monitor that requires as much space as a PC's system case itself?" |

Topic: CRT Monitors |
| The most important aspect of a monitor is that it should give a stable display at the chosen resolution and colour palette. A screen that shimmers or flickers, particularly when most of the picture is showing white (as in Windows), can cause itchy or painful eyes, headaches and migraines. |

Topic: CRT Monitors |
| The maximum resolution of a monitor is dependent on more than just its highest scanning frequencies. Another factor is dot pitch, the physical distance between adjacent phosphor dots of the same colour on the inner surface of the CRT. |

Topic: CRT Monitors |
| In the 1960s, Sony developed an alternative tube technology known as Trinitron. It combined the three separate electron guns into one device: Sony refers to this as a Pan Focus gun. Most interesting of all, Trinitron tubes were made from sections of a cylinder, vertically flat and horizontally curve... |

CRT Monitors - part 6 by MDofPC |
Topic: CRT Monitors |
| If the electron beam is not lined up correctly with the shadow mask or aperture grille holes the beam is prevented from being passed through to the phosphors, thereby causing a reduction in pixel illumination. As the beam scans it may sometimes regain alignment and so succeed in passing through the ... |

Topic: CRT Monitors |
| Not so long ago, advanced controls were found only on high-end monitors. Now, even budget models boast a wealth of image correction controls. This is just as well since the image fed through to the monitor by the graphics card can be subject to a number of distortions. |

CRT Monitors - part 8 by MDofPC |
Topic: CRT Monitors |
| Nearly 99 percent of all video displays sold in 1998 were connected using an analogue VGA interface, an ageing technology that represents the minimum standard for a PC display. In fact, today VGA represents an impediment to the adoption of new flat panel display technologies, largely because of the ... |

CRT Monitors - part 9 by MDofPC |
Topic: CRT Monitors |
| CRT monitors and TVs have each been optimised for the applications they've been traditionally used for. The former excel at displaying close-up high-resolution content, such as text, while lower-resolution TV screens' larger dot pitch and higher light output make them more suitable for rendering low... |
