Ch-Ch Mismatch (mV) ±3 mV ±3.6% of reading 32-step staircase signal.VESA 6.5 Channel
voltage levels measured relative to back porch
Ch-Ch Mismatch (%) ±0.4% ±(3.6%) x (Luma Level)/(Max
Luma Level); maximum ±4%

(p-p sync amplitude)=(logic 1 voltage)–(logic 0 voltage)
Linearity, Resolution,Monotonicity
Integral Linearity (%) ±2% VESA 6.4. Requires step response compliant
Differential Linearity ±0.25 LSB (8 bit) to VESA limits for overshoot/undershoot,
±0.5 LSB (10 bit) amplitude and settle time
RGB Video Monotonicity ±0.25 LSB (8 bit) Monotonicity checks every step on the ramp
±0.5 LSB (10 bit) to ensure signal is always rising
Resolution Measurement Range 5 to 10 bits Resolution measured in bits
HV Sync Monotonic Rise and Fall Detects monotonicity errors as small as 1% Checks sync for always rising and always-
of p-p sync amplitude falling characteristic. Requires VESA compliant
