Question 1

Adjustments made to a color monitor do not affect the video signal itself.

Accepted Answer

Adjustments made to a color monitor such as brightness, contrast, and color balance only affect how the video signal is displayed on the monitor, but they do not alter the signal itself. The video signal remains unchanged.

Question 2

During setup of a color monitor it is imperative to always apply setup procedures to the monitor in the same light conditions that will be used when viewing the video image.

Accepted Answer

This is because different lighting conditions can affect the perception of color on a monitor, so it is important to calibrate it under the same conditions it will be viewed in to ensure accurate color representation.

Question 3

The original method of displaying video was through the use of Light Emitting Diodes.

Accepted Answer

The original method of displaying video was through the use of Cathode Ray Tubes, not Light Emitting Diodes.

Question 4

Video projection can only be achieved through a front-projection system used to illuminate a screen, much in the same manner as film.

Accepted Answer

Video projection can be achieved through both front-projection and rear-projection systems. Front-projection illuminates a screen from the front, while rear-projection illuminates a screen from behind.

Question 5

The LCD display uses a fluorescent backlight or, in newer versions, LEDs to send light through liquid crystal molecules.

Accepted Answer

The LCD display uses a fluorescent backlight or LEDs to send light through liquid crystal molecules.

Question 6

The test signal used to set up a video monitor is called .&#10;A) pulse cross&#10;B) star burst&#10;C) mutiburst&#10;D) color bars

Accepted Answer

Color bars are the most commonly used test signal to set up a video monitor. They consist of a series of vertical bars of different colors and shades, which help to adjust settings such as brightness, contrast, and color balance. Pulse cross and star burst are also test signals, but they are typically used for different purposes (such as checking for signal timing and alignment). Multiburst is a more advanced test signal that is used to evaluate the resolution and quality of a video system.

Question 7

Professional color monitors have a switch called ,&#10;A) mono view&#10;B) blue-only&#10;C) single gun&#10;D) luma set

Accepted Answer

The switch called "blue-only" allows users to view the image in black and white with only blue tones present. This can help detect color imbalances or other issues with the image's color accuracy. The other choices listed are not commonly found on professional color monitors.

Question 8

The property of video displays that deals with the relationship of the amount&#10;A) contrast&#10;B) chroma&#10;C) gamma&#10;D) brightness

Accepted Answer

Gamma refers to the relationship between the brightness of a video signal input and the brightness of the corresponding output display. It affects the overall brightness and contrast of the image.

Question 9

This type of display uses an optical semiconductor called a Digital Micromirror Device developed by Texas Instruments.&#10;A) DLP&#10;B) LCD&#10;C) OLED&#10;D) Plasma

Accepted Answer

Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) is a key component of the DLP display technology, making Option A the correct answer. OLED and LCD displays use different technologies, and plasma displays are no longer produced commercially.

Question 10

The display uses a film or organic compound that lights&#10;A) DLP&#10;B) LCD&#10;C) OLED&#10;D) Plasma

Accepted Answer

OLED displays use organic compounds that emit light when an electric current is applied, unlike LCDs or Plasmas which require a backlight source.
