dot pitch the same colour (red, green or blue) on a color {CRT}. Dot pitch is typically from 0.28 to 0.51 mm but large presentation monitors may go up to 1.0 mm. The smaller the dot pitch, the crisper the image, 0.31 or less provides a sharp image, especially when displaying text. Dot pitch measurements between conventional tubes and {Sony}'s {Trinitron} tubes are roughly, but not exactly comparable. Sony's {CRT}s use vertical stripes, not dots, and its measurement is the distance between stripes, not the diagonal distance between dots. ["The Computer Glossary", Alan Freedman]. (1995-12-14) |
