  • Microprocessor controlled universal video monitor
    Patent number: 4991023
    Abstract: A microprocessor controlled video montior is presented. The video monitor is able to automatically adjust the values of its parameters to adjust to operation on a number of different computer systems. The video monitor includes control lines, digital-to-analog converters and a control processor. The control processor, through the digital-to-analog converters, controls the values of the parameters of the video monitor. Stored in a non-volatile memory are entries which contain values of video monitor parameters. The control processor recognizes different computing systems on the basis of the frequency and polarity of horizontal and vertical synchronization signals.
