----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris" : You can see them with a hand magnifier. Actual dots! Dots, red, green and : blue unless you have a Trinitron in which case it is little vertical bars : Dots..... Dots.... Dots.... Dots.... you're referring to the rgb triads/pixels and the dot pitch or stripe pitch - the specs vary from maker to maker but my monitor has a stripe pitch of 0.24mm - that means I have 104 pixels per inch or 312 sub pixels per inch Native resolution: The physical structure of some types of displays, including LCDs and plasma panels, defines how many pixels can be displayed at once. The display produces the sharpest picture when used at its so-called native resolution. Other types of displays, such as CRTs, create pixels independently of the physical structure of their screens and do not have a native resolution. As a result, a CRT's image quality is generally the same across a range of resolutions. k
