Display Port

An alternative to a DVI that also supports HDMI.

Display Device

An output device that visually conveys text, graphics, and video information.

Active-Matrix

Color produced by LED

LED

Consume less power, last longer, and are thinner, lighter, and brighter than others.

Output

Data that has been processed into a useful form.

Aspect Ratio

Defines a display width relative to its height.

Contrast Ratio

Describes that difference in light intensity between that brightest white and darkest black that can be produced on a display.

DVI

Digital video interface, enables digital signals to transmit directly to a monitor.

Native Resolution

Displays optimized for a specific resolution.

GPU

Graphics processing unit, controls the manipulation and display of graphics on a display device.

Video Standards

Have been developed to define the resolution, aspect ration, number of colors, and other display properties.

HDMI

High-Definiton Media Interface combines DVI with high-definitoin (HD) television and video.

HDTV

High-definiton television is the most advanced form of digital television, working with digital broadcast signals, transmitting digital sound, supporting wide screens, providing high resolutions.

TFT

Thin-film transistor uses a separate transistor to apply charges to each liquid crystal cell, and displays high-color that can be viewed at any angle.

Plasma Display

Uses gas plasma technology, which sandwiches a layer of gas between two glass plates.

OLED

Uses organic molecules that are self-illuminating and do not require a backlight.
