The name is essentially a combination of the words &quot;multiple&quot; and &quot;synchronization,&quot; as it is able to conform to most of the display standards commonly used. This type of monitor was developed in the 1980s, just as computers started to withdraw from early standards such as NTSC, GCA and PAL, and move on to higher scan-rate display standards such as VGA, SVGA and EVGA.<\/p>\n<p> A multisync monitor does not need to support all standards, just the most prevalent ones. By the late 1990s, multisync monitors became the standard for most computer monitors, with the most common resolutions at that time being 1024&#215;768 and 800&#215;600 at 65 Hz of refresh rate. Modern monitors support a variety of resolutions, the most common of which are the HD resolutions of 1080p and 720p; they also support continuous refresh rates. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Does Multisync Monitor Mean?
