  2. Windows Display Driver Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Display_Driver_Model

    It is a replacement for the previous Windows 2000 and Windows XP display driver model XDDM/XPDM [3] and is aimed at enabling better performance graphics and new graphics functionality and stability. [2] Display drivers in Windows Vista and Windows 7 can choose to either adhere to WDDM or to XDDM. [4]

  3. Extended Display Identification Data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_display...

    Many software packages can read and display the EDID information, such as read-edid [2] for Linux and DOS, PowerStrip [3] for Microsoft Windows and the X.Org Server for Linux and BSD unix. Mac OS X natively reads EDID information and programs such as SwitchResX [ 4 ] or DisplayConfigX [ 5 ] can display the information as well as use it to ...

  4. Display driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_driver

    The display driver may itself be an application-specific microcontroller and may incorporate RAM, Flash memory, EEPROM and/or ROM. Fixed ROM may contain firmware and display fonts. A notable example of a display driver IC is the Hitachi HD44780 LCD controller. Other controllers are KS0108, SSD1815 (graphics capable) and ST7920 (graphics capable)

  5. List of computer display standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_display...

    A widely used de facto standard, introduced with XGA-2 and other early "multiscan" graphics cards and monitors, with an unusual aspect ratio of 5:4 (1.25:1) instead of the more common 4:3 (1. 3:1), meaning that even 4:3 pictures and video will appear letterboxed on the narrower 5:4 screens. This is generally the native resolution—with ...

  6. Device driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver

    Even drivers executing in user mode can crash a system if the device is erroneously programmed. These factors make it more difficult and dangerous to diagnose problems. [3] The task of writing drivers thus usually falls to software engineers or computer engineers who work for hardware-development companies. This is because they have better ...

  7. Display aspect ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_aspect_ratio

    This aspect ratio was chosen as the geometric mean between 4:3 and 2.35:1, an average of the various aspect ratios used in film. [3] While 16:9 is well-suited for modern HDTV broadcasts , older 4:3 video has to be either padded with bars on the left and right side (pillarboxed), cropped or stretched, while movies shot with wider aspect ratios ...

  8. Multisync monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisync_monitor

    This monitor as well as others that could be manually switched between these two sync rates were known as dual-scan displays. [ 6 ] The NEC Multisync was released in 1985 for use with the IBM PC, supporting a wide range of sync frequencies including those for CGA, EGA, various extended forms of those standards marketed by third party vendors ...

  9. Digital Visual Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface

    Dual link optionally supports up to 48 bits per pixel. If a depth greater than 24 bits per pixel is desired, the least significant bits are sent on the second link. Pixels per TMDS clock cycle: 1 (single link at 24 bits or less per pixel, and dual link for 25 to 48 bits per pixel) or; 2 (dual link at 24 bits or less per pixel)
