34 8. GLOSSARY
Resolution
Resolution is expressed as the number of dots (pixels) displayed on the screen.
A larger number of dots produces a more sharply defined (a higher-resolution) image.
Note that for a given screen size the dot size decreases as the number of dots
increases: a 640 x 480 (dot x line) resolution uses larger pixels than a 1024 x 768
resolution. The display size of a given font therefore varies according to the
resolution. Higher resolutions allow you to display more information on the screen.
sRGB (Standard RGB)
“International Standard for Red, Green, and Blue color space” A color space was
defined with the aim of the color matching between applications and hardware
devices, such as monitors, scanners, printers and digital cameras. As a standard
default space, sRGB allows Internet users to closely match colors.
Uniformity
The uniformity is the purity of the color when a white screen is displayed on screen.
Some monitors have blue or pink tinted areas that exhibit poor white uniformity.
Some monitors have some brighter and darker areas, then this is an indication of
bright uniformity error.
VESA DPMS
The acronym VESA stands for “Video Electronics Standards Association,” and DPMS
stands for “Display Power Management Signaling.” DPMS is a communication
standard that PCs and graphics boards use to implement power savings on the
monitor side.
