b) Resolution: The goal of a screen demonstrates how thickness the pixels are stuffed. Pixel is short for picture component. A pixel is a solitary point in a realistic picture.
c) Band Width: how much information that can be sent in a decent measure of time.
d) Refresh Rate: Display screens should be invigorate all the time. The invigorate rate decides how often each seconds the screen is to be red drawn. The revive pace of a screen is estimated in Hertz.

This is an Analog showcase standard, so cabling, and distance can corrupt the nature of the result. All things considered, screens will be more appealing utilizing a computerized norm.

SVGA

A Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA) screen is a result gadget which utilizes the SVGA standard. SVGA is a video-show standard sort created by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) for IBM PC viable PCs (PCs).

XGA

XGA (Extended Graphics Array) is a high-goal video show mode that gives screen pixel goal of 1,024 by 768 of every 256 tones or 640 by 480 in high (16-bit) variety. The XGA standard is utilized in work area and PCs well as in projection frameworks.
