As part of an assignment I have been asked to compare a range of monitors, and find which will be best suited for a graphics design company. The comparison has to cover the following points. Refresh Rate Resolution Bandwidth Refresh Rate and Resolution are easy enough, but Bandwidth? I've tried google but can only seem to find stuff related to network bandwidth.
the rate of analagoue information. I can't think of a reason why u'd have to choose something based on that rather than refresh rate, res and colour information and luminance.
Couldnt you use an estimate of the bandwidth based on: number of pixels*number of bits per pixel*refresh rate=bits per second Im not sure if this is correct, and I dont know if they would want to take overheads into account. I dont really see how this would be important though.
Monitor bandwidth's an archaic term, back when it was all the monitor companies had to be proud of, 'cos everything else sucked. It's just the ammount of data going in, as alpha 112 said (number of pixels*number of bits per pixel*refresh rate=bits per second). Nowadays all monitors can handle loads, so it isn't considered important.
Yeah, bandwidth is basically just a function of max resolution and max refresh rate, so it seems a bit superfluous...
