called Horizontal Cycle and the inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizontal
Frequency. Unit: kHz
Vertical Frequency
Like a fluorescent lamp, the screen has to repeat the same image many times per second to
display an image to the user. The frequency of this repetition is called Vertical Frequency or
Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz
