Monitor Dot Pitch

zoe · 2007-07-14 20:19:27

Is it true that the lower the dot pitch, the better? How good would a 0.294 mm Dot Pitch be for a 19" widescreen flatscreen monitor? Or would it be best to go for one with a lower dot pitch?

Yeah, the smaller the number, the smaller each pixel will be, hence more pixels in the same area.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_pitch explains it all.

It's not something to be concerned about really. Look at the native resolution, that'll give you a better idea of the monitor's capabilities.

As you have a previous thread about monitor specs zoe what kind of tasks are you doing with the display as that might be a better guide for recommendations of displays.

Is it for professional work needing accurate colours, home use for movies, games etc ?
