Pixel
Abbreviation for picture element, the smallest element of the picture that can be displayed on the
screen. The smaller the pixel size, the better the resolution of the monitor. Pixel size is
determined by the size of the electron spot on the screen and not necessarily by the phosphor
dot pitch (the size of the triad). Thus, a monitor with a large electron spot covering several triads
can exhibit poor resolution even though its dot pitch is small.
Pixel frequency
The number of pixels that can be written in a video line per second.
Pixel rate

Resolution
The number of pixels that can be displayed on the screen. The resolution is specified as the
number of pixels in a line multiplied by the number of horizontal lines.
