Talk:Aperture grille
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the size it appears in the article, the image "Aperture grille in close-up, showing the stabilizing wire" is too small for the stabilising wire to actually be visible. Jibjibjib 23:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't believe that the image labeled "Comparison between aperture grille(left) and shadow mask(right)" is correct. The image also appears on the Shadow mask page. I think this is showing the difference in pixel geometry between a TV screen and a computer screen (probably both of which are shadow mask). Note that the image for the subpixels section of the pixel page is essentially the same image. The image summary also doesn't mention anything about shadow mask or aperture grille. Finally, for each aperture grille closeup, each pixel appears to be (more or less) arranged horizontally and vertically in a straight line, not "staggered" as they appear in the comparison picture. I don't have a aperture grille CRT to compare with, so can anyone else confirm this is correct? 129.21.100.202 02:16, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- I can confirm the above -- I was noticing comparison was wrong after looking at my own aperture grille CRT (19" Sony Trinitron). That photo is not showing the difference between aperture grille and shadow mask, rather between two kinds of shadow mask, one with rather large dots (Television) and one with smaller dots (CRT). I'm going to make a new comparison image and upload it, using either my own monitor or the images available on the page already. Trisweb 06:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Ding, done. :-) Much better comparison image added. Trisweb 07:49, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps it would be useful to show a non-inline type of shadowmask arrangement (three dots in a triangle). I believe I have a monitor of this type so will try to take that shot. Also, can we mention the Trinicon technology which was to some extent the Trinitron in reverse. Colin99 22:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
