The glossary says: "A monitor with a refresh rate of 31.5kHz". I assume this is the horizontal refresh rate? (similar question for "S: Standard resolution"). Perhaps the entry should be "high resolution monitor" because I was expecting something along the lines as "a screen resolution that is at least 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels high.".

Added brief summary of PAL and NTSC if thats what you meant.... --Silver 11:15, 9 March 2006 (EST)
