Dot Pitch-Monitors

Dot pitch is the distance between the centers of two same colour phosphor dots on the screen. The image you see on a monitor is created by red, green and blue phosphor dots that glow when hit by an electron beam. The dot pitch specification for a display monitor tells you how sharp the displayed image can be. The dot pitch is measured in millimeters (mm) and a smaller number means a sharper image.
