O
OSD (On Screen Display)
The feature that allows an end user to adjust screen performance and parameters of monitors
directly through an on-screen instruction window. See CustoMax in CrystalClear section.
Overscan
The practice in which areas without useful video information are scanned outside the visible
screen area in order to make maximum use of the screen for display of active video information.
This practice is occasionally necessary because some video cards generate a video pattern that
is smaller than the visible screen area, resulting in an image that is smaller (and less legible) than
it needs to be.
P
Parallelogram Distortion
See Geometric distortion.
Phosphor
Generic name for the class of substances that exhibit luminescence. To produce a picture on
screen, phosphors are deposited on the inner surface of the picture-tube screen and excited into
luminescence by the electron beam. Typical examples of phosphors are P22 medium short-
persistence phosphor and EBU high-color-saturation phosphor.
Pin-cushion Distortion
