Re: Different between color monitors?

[jpoore@pro-palmtree.cts.com (James Poore)]

A composite color monitor is a monitor than conforms to the NTSC standard
which has composite video (video, color, sound) at a level of 0-1V.

An Analog RGB monitor has 3 distinct video signals (red, green, blue) that
form in various amounts to makes all colors.  Each signal is variable from
0-5V and there is one other signal (sync) which locks the picture.
This type of monitor has increased bandwith (more pixels) than the
composite monitor.

A digital RGB monitor has 5 digital signal lines (red, green, blue,
intensity, and sync).  It can form only 16 colors (a combination of
red, green, blue at low intesity for 8 and a combo of red, green, blue at
high intensity for the other 8).  The digital RGB is not as good as analog
RGB due to the fact that only 16 distinct colors are availiable, whereas
the Analog RGB has an infinitely variable color palette.
