Plug and Play.
Microsoft' s strategy is to be able to install new hardware devices and
configure peripherals easier.
When connecting with computer, the monitor will initially adjust itself
to the best screen settings automatically through its communication
channel, DDC (Display Data Channel)
DDC 1/2B(Display Data Channel 1/2B)
The International Standard VESA DDC method, through which Plug &
Play supported devices can be recognized and connected with the
computer easier. When you turn on the computer' s power, product
information, such as manufacturer, screen size, resolution, timing table,
which is included in monitor circuit board, is transferred to the VGA
Card. (DDC 1/2B) compatibility offers significant performance
advantages by enabling monitor capabilities, including scanning
frequencies and image sizing, to be communicated automatically to the
operating system without the use of drivers or diskettes for installation.
Resolution
Screen resolution is measured in pixels, or picture elements. One pixel
is the smallest area that can be manipulated by the computer.
Resolution is always stated as the horizontal number of pixels by the
vertical number of pixels. A screen displaying 1600 x 1200 pixels has
1200 rows, each 1600 pixels wide.
