Pour [...] diverses raisons, les constructeurs ont choisi depuis plusieurs années de relier les écrans graphiques aux micro-ordinateurs par des liaisons analogiques variant de 0 à 700 mV(correspondant à ceux de la vidéoproduction). Il faut noter que dans la plupart des cas, les signaux de synchronisation horizontale et verticale restent sous forme TTL. [...] Ce tableau ne concerne que les cartes et écrans informatiques les plus courants. Pour des écrans et des cartes d’affichage particulières, avec des valeurs de taille identique, les fréquences de balayage peuvent varier sensiblement. Afin d’augmenter la surface d’affichage(et donc de travail), divers fournisseurs proposent des cartes avec des définitions plus élevées(écrans de 21 pouces avec des définitions de 1600 X 1200, voire 2000 X 1500). 3, record 2, French, - carte%20d%26rsquo%3Baffichage
