The distance between a dot and the closest dot ofthe same colour (red, green or blue) on a color CRT. Dotpitch is typically from 0.28 to 0.51 mm but large presentationmonitors may go up to 1.0 mm. The smaller the dot pitch, thecrisper the image, 0.31 or less provides a sharp image,especially when displaying text.Dot pitch measurements between conventional tubes and Sony'sTrinitron tubes are roughly, but not exactly comparable.Sony's CRTs use vertical stripes, not dots, and itsmeasurement is the distance between stripes, not the diagonaldistance between dots.["The Computer Glossary", Alan Freedman].
