Scan Mode
Interlaced scanning is a method that creates a
TV picture with alternating lines of information
and is the cause of flickering. Progressive
scanning is a method that creates a TV picture
with consecutive lines of information that results
in flicker-free picture quality.

Vertical Resolution (Scan Lines)
Vertical scan lines refer to the number of
horizontal lines a TV or display can show to
create an image.
As the number of lines increase, more
information is displayed, resulting in better
picture quality.
3
Horizontal Resolution
Each horizontal line in a TV or display is made
up of individual dots (pixels).The higher the
number of pixels, the finer the TV picture
becomes. Horizontal pixel measurements using
today's technology can range from 250 for a
VCR to as much as 500 for a DVD player.

width over its height.A 16:9 aspect ratio refers
to a wide-screen picture format, while a 4:3
refers to a standard TV format.
