I'm confused by the distinction between the number of "dots" on a TV
screen or monitor, and the "resolution" the picture is displayed at.
Is there an arbitrary relationship, so that the pixels get displayed by
the "dots" (assuming there are sufficient numbers of dots) with the
pixels projected onto one or more dots? Is this what accounts for the
moire patterns one sees occasionally?
And why is it that computer monitors routinely specify the dot pitch,
while TVs seem to ignore this specification?
If different brands of TV have different size dots, why don't some
manyufacturers brag about it? Is it because TV is so low-res that all of
them have enough dots so it makes no practical difference?
