HORIZONTAL SCAN RATE


Meaning of HORIZONTAL SCAN RATE in English

< hardware > (HSR) The measure of how many scan lines of pixels a monitor can display in one second, expressed in kHz (generally somewhere between 20 and 100 kHz).

The HSR is controlled by the horizontal sync signal generated by the video controller , but is limited by the speed with which the monitor can scan the electron beam horizontally across the screen and then return it to the beginning of the next line.
