The capabilities of the monitor must match the needs of the display modes requested by your software and output by your video card. To understand how the monitor and video board work together and contribute to the performance of your computer we ll start at the monitor and work inward through the functions of the video board.

It is for this reason that products that display television in a window on the computer screen are fairly inexpensive and work well but products that display computer images on televisions are limited to basic VGA resolutions 640x480 is common although some products output up to 1 024x768 and often smear the images.
