Understanding Dot Pitch

Looking for a monitor and want a better understanding of all the options available? Well in this article we will explore the Dot Pitch. Dot Pitch is a measurement of the smallest visual component on the display (a Dot). At the highest resolution (more on this in the next article) each pixel will equal the one Dot, at lower resolutions a pixel will encompass more than one Dot.

The Dot pitch is measured in millimeters, with the measurements ranging from .30mm to .15mm. The smaller the Dot pitch is the sharper the image will be and the higher the resolution you will be able to set.
